CelcomDigi has announced that it is partnering with Boost to introduce the latter’s Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) service to the CelcomDigi app. Touted as a Shariah-compliant option, PayFlex is meant to offer customers a “flexible and seamless” payment experience.
To access the BNPL service in the CelcomDigi app, the user must first head over to the “Shop” page located between the “Home” and “For You” tabs. From there, the user can scroll down to the Lifestyle section. PayFlex is listed under the “Trending Apps & Services” category.
Clicking on the icon will redirect the user to the PayFlex login page. Naturally, the user will have to create a PayFlex account if they do not already have one. Otherwise, they can simply log in and access the available services. Some applications include paying postpaid bills, reloading prepaid credit, and making purchases from DuitNow QR merchants.
Among the perks offered by the service is a credit limit of up to RM1,499. Aside from that, customers can choose repayment options of up to 12 months. As mentioned earlier, PayFlex by Boost is a Shariah-compliant service, so Muslim customers in particular can have access to a trusted platform for managing their finances.
According to CelcomDigi, the introduction of this service aligns with the telco’s broader goals for its recently launched unified app. The company seeks to turn the new app into a one-stop digital lifestyle hub, allowing users to do more than just access telco services.
