Apple has announced to shut down its buy now, pay later (BNPL) service called ‘Apple Pay Later’ in the US. The service, which let users take out “pay later” loans that can be paid in four payments over six weeks, was launched in the US in October last year. The company confirmed that it’s no longer offering loans for Apple Pay Later, which allowed users to pay off purchases of as much as $1,000 over four installments. The iPhone maker took the step after announcing that third-party services — such as ones from Affirm Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc. — would be integrated into its upcoming iOS 18 software.

Apple launched its Pay Later program in the US last year using an in-house platform. For the first time, Apple itself issued the loans to customers via a new subsidiary. But it still relied on Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and MasterCard Inc. to help handle the process.The new services in iOS 18 will be available globally through the company’s Apple Pay platform. And users with open loans will continue to be able to manage them within the Wallet app, Apple said. “Our focus continues to be on providing our users with access to easy, secure and private payment options with Apple Pay, and this solution will enable us to bring flexible payments to more users, in more places across the globe, in collaboration with Apple Pay enabled banks and lenders," the company said.
