Kmart customers around the country will now be able to shop in-store using Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) platform, Afterpay, in 322 Kmart and K hub stores.
For the past three years, Kmart has offered Afterpay to online customers and is now extending the service in-store for added convenience.
Kmart general manager of stores, Chris Renshaw said introducing Afterpay across the network of stores in time for Christmas is incredibly exciting.
“Customers can now have even more access to our products with the added benefit of managing their budgets for Christmas time and well into the future. We look forward to expanding this offering into New Zealand early next year,” he said.
Afterpay executive vice president and country manager, Katrina Konstas said, “We know how much our customers love shopping at Kmart and we have heard you, we are absolutely delighted to be able to offer this seven weeks out from Christmas.
“We also know how much younger Australians have missed shopping in-store (69%) and how excited they are to hit the shops again (42%) as found in our recent Lockdown Liberation Study.”
