Uber and Uber Eats are teaming up with Afterpay as customers move away from traditional forms of credit.
The “buy now, pay later” service is now accessible to Uber and Uber Eats users in Australia and New Zealand, allowing them to add it to their wallet for both takeaway orders and rideshare services.
Afterpay CEO Nick Molnar said it would give Uber customers more control over their finances.
Molnar stated, “Incorporating Uber is a prime example of Australians increasingly choosing Afterpay as a trusted partner in their daily lives.”
“Afterpay has always focused on offering customers secure and adaptable payment options for their everyday needs, and Uber is an integral part of millions of Australians’ routines.”
“We’re giving customers greater control over how and when they pay via a seamless addition to Uber Wallet.”
Financial stress is the main driving factor for Gen Zs born between 1996 and 2005 shunning the payment method.
