Checkout conversions up—clear installments, clear late fees, clear credit checks

We embed BNPL widgets in merchant checkouts with soft/hard pull policies per your program. Schedules, reminders, and dunning reduce defaults; merchant settlement files reconcile daily. Regulatory posture (UK FCA-style, US state laws) is configuration-driven with counsel—not afterthought copy.
