Afterpay lets US consumers pay with their NFC mobile phone

Australia-based buy now, pay later specialist Afterpay is launching a service that lets US consumers make NFC payments in stores — and then pay for their purchases in four equal instalments.

The company is also adding support for Google Pay. Similar to using Afterpay online, customers in the US will be able to pay securely and simply for their in-store purchases in four instalment payments, without the need to take out a traditional loan or pay upfront fees or interest.
