Alfa BNPL by Bank Alfalah is a Shariah Compliant instalment facility that charges 0% profit from customers and enables customers having other bank credit cards to purchase products from AlfaMall or any other Bank Alfalah registered online or in-store merchant. 

All customers holding other bank credit cards (issued by any bank in Pakistan) can avail the Alfa BNPL ‘Buy Now Pay Later’ facility (subject to Bank Alfalah internal assessment), except for Bank Alfalah issued cards.

The contract is based on Qard (قرض) under which bank will make payment to the merchant, equivalent to the purchase price (the Qard amount) on behalf of the customer. The first amount will be deducted upfront. The bank is not entitled to take any additional amount on the purchase price and thus, the customer is liable to only pay back his Qard/principal to the bank over the tenor.

Alfa BNPL allows customer to purchase products and defer the payment by paying in equal monthly installment for up to 6 months’. In this transaction, the first payment is taken upfront. Customers can avail this facility by linking eligible credit cards from any bank in Pakistan to be used as the mode of payment. The bank first assesses the customer and provides instant decisioning on eligibility. 

Once the customer is on-boarded, they are assigned a limit which they can use by going to Alfamall, eligible online and in-store merchants. The transaction is based on a tri-party execution where the bank acts as a broker for the merchant, the merchant becomes the seller by selling the products and the customer becomes the debtor of the bank. The Bank pays the purchase amount to the merchant on behalf of the customer.
