In alignment with its digital strategy, amanté has tied up with WEBXPAY – the premier digital payment solutions provider in Sri Lanka – to give its customers even more reason to shop at the brand’s stores island-wide.
The first retailer in the country to do so, Sri Lanka’s leading intimate apparel label has now introduced XSPLIT; a “Buy Now Pay Later” (BNPL) scheme allowing consumers to purchase products on the spot and pay in more comfortable payment terms later.
amanté Lanka Executive Director Padmal Silva said: “We at amanté are always seeking out new ways to enhance the customer experience, even if it means that we pave the way for other retailers to follow. We are incredibly excited to have partnered up with WEBXPAY to be able to now unveil our exciting new digital payment option for the benefit of our customers visiting any of our boutiques across the country.”
Applicable for all transactions just over Rs. 10,000, amanté customers can now pay for their purchase using their credit cards and choose from either a three-month or six-month payment plan (not tied with interest, documentation, or any hidden fees) to complete their payment more flexibly. With many of the country’s leading banks already on board, more are expected to follow as the scheme gains traction.
WEBXPAY Executive Chairman Thilak Piyadigama said: “The ascendancy of BNPL schemes such as XSPLIT has transformed the global retail sector, and we are thrilled to be able to introduce this novel payment model together with amanté in Sri Lanka. “The way we purchase is now moving away from traditional credit, and this seamless way of paying is far more convenient, flexible, and straightforward.”
