"Splitit has an elegant solution that will fit nicely within our product and complement our financing options for higher-value purchases."

"We are delighted to be partnering with tabby to expand their market-leading offering. We've always seen our solution as complementary to other BNPL providers, which this new exciting partnership with tabby highlights perfectly. Our global payments platform is the only solution leveraging credit card payment networks, with the flexibility to scale internationally without the need for major on-the-ground support," said Splitit CEO Brad Paterson.

"Having expanded our platform capability, we can now also offer white-label solutions as a way to enter new regions such as the Middle East by partnering with established players that already have a strong market presence. While we remain focused on further penetration of Splitit's branded product in the US, APAC and Europe, this provides a new low-cost, high-margin revenue stream which we can easily emulate in other markets," added Mr. Paterson.
