US EditionBuy now pay later provider Zilch to launch first physical card
- Zilch, a London-based buy now, pay later provider, will launch its first physical card in September 2025 via a partnership with Visa.
- This launch follows new legislation introduced last month that imposes stricter standards on BNPL providers amid concerns over consumer debt risks.
- Since its inception five years ago, Zilch—a buy now, pay later provider partnering with retailers like Amazon and Iceland—has expanded to serve over five million users through its virtual card offerings accepted both online and in physical stores.
- Personal finance expert Aaron Peake cautions that while BNPL may not charge interest, it still carries risks—missing even a few payments can harm your credit rating, result in late fees, and sometimes lead to immediate involvement from debt collection agencies.
- Zilch is introducing a physical payment card to boost in-store usage, as most adults in the UK rarely rely on mobile wallets, though users should remain cautious about potential debt and credit risks.
