What is payment in installments?

Payment in install ments is a very popular payment method in Latin America that allows consumers to make purchases and pay for them in several installments over a given period of time.

1. Payment option selection: The consumer chooses to pay in installments when making a purchase.
2. Assessment of the consumer's ability to pay: The merchant or financial institution assesses the consumer's ability to pay.
3. Approval of payment in installments: If approved, the consumer agrees to make regular payments for a specified period.

Interest and charges
