With new PayBright partnership, shoe giant Journeys now offers Canadians a more flexible way to pay

TORONTO, Dec. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - PayBright, one of Canada's leading providers of installment payment plans, today announced its partnership with popular shoe retailer Journeys. Now, Canadians shopping for their favourite designer shoe brands (including UGG, Dr. Martens, and Vans) have the option to pay later in four interest-free, biweekly installments when they check out on Journeys.ca.

According to the Globe and Mail, 'buy now, pay later' plans are growing in popularity amongst Canadians looking for flexible alternatives to credit cards when paying for either small-ticket and large-ticket items. To meet this new consumer demand, PayBright offers payment plans including Pay in 4 for smaller purchases, and Pay Monthly for larger-ticket items.

"At Journeys, our daily mission is to provide a seamless shopping experience for our customer family across Canada," said John Tighe, SVP, Digital Commerce for Journeys. "We are excited to offer our new and returning fan base a payment option that helps us continue to accomplish this, especially in 2021."

"PayBright is proud to partner with Journeys and welcome them to our growing list of merchants," says Wayne Pommen, President and CEO of PayBright. "Our Pay in 4 plan offers shoppers increased flexibility in a clear and transparent way. We are thrilled to help Journeys meet the needs of Canadians who want and expect this easy, accessible pay-later option when they shop."

PayBright was the first integrated installment payment solution for e-commerce, in-app, and in-store sales in Canada, providing a unified omnichannel experience. Unlike other installment payment options, PayBright does not require consumers to sign up for a credit card and does not charge hidden fees, retroactive interest, or revolving interest charges.
