Tracking and Reconciliation

Manual Payments Cost More Than You Think

Traditional payment methods can introduce inefficiencies, higher costs and increased risks for BNPL providers.
1
High Transaction Costs

BNPL providers can face significant transaction fees with every customer repayment made via cards, impacting profitability.

2
Increased Risk of Fraud and Chargebacks

Reliance on card details for repayments can make BNPL providers vulnerable to fraud, and chargebacks can lead to financial losses and operational burdens.

3
Lower Payment Success Rates and Slower Settlements

Card payments can fail for various reasons, and slower settlement times can impact cash flow management and user experience for BNPL providers.

“Dwolla has been a huge value-add for us. Dwolla allows us to transfer money really smoothly, really easily and quickly in a way that typical lenders aren’t familiar with.”
