Hoolah was one of the earliest paying platforms that allowed for instalment payment in Singapore. The platform is quite simple to use and transparent – the cost of your purchase is divided into three interest-free instalments, exactly a month apart. Debit credit cards are allowed and there are no hidden costs at all. Besides being a useful platform when buying big-ticket items, it also has in-app offers you can browse through and also incentives for new users, who will get a welcome voucher of $10 off min spend $30 for online or in-store purchases.. 

Tenure: 3 months
Late payment: If you missed your second payment, Atome will charge a $15 late repayment fee and freeze your account. If you miss the deadline to pay the late fee of $15 and the outstanding balance on the third and final month, you will be charged another $15.

Atome is also another interest-free instalment payment platform that has its presence online and also in-store. Like hoolah and Pace, the tenure is three months but there is an added bonus for first-time users to take $10 off the first online purchase on Atome.

We're already familiar with the Grab app when it comes to transport, food, groceries and even Grab Pay. Like Grab Pay, now you have the option to buy now and pay later instead. The tenure is longer than most of the other platforms here – you can split it over four months. However, when you use Grab PayLater, you can't earn GrabRewards points. On top of flexible payment, Grab PayLater also offers plenty of deals you can check out that is updated quite frequently.
