Ugandan iPhone dealers, Sagebuyers have announced a partnership with Lipa Later, a Kenyan tech-led consumer credit platform to enable their clients to receive iPhones and other Apple products available at the Sage Buyers store on credit.
The new arrangement that targets mostly corporates and other salary earners will have people getting their dream Apple products after paying just 10% of the final amount and clear in 12 months while using the product.
Speaking to this website, Stanley Sempijja, the Sage Buyers CEO said that his business is a customer-satisfaction oriented enterprise and committed to scouting more opportunities and partnerships that helps them to advance that goal.
“We appreciate that saving is not easy. It takes a lot of discipline and commitment which many people may not have. But that should not stand in their way to enjoy the finest things that life has to offer.” He said.
“That is why we came up with this arrangement. If you earn a salary for instance, you can start using your desired gadgets while paying in installments until you complete the payment.” He added.
Lipa Later has other partnerships with retailers across East Africa allowing shoppers to pay for products in installments. For instance, Lipa Later’s partnership with French retailer Carrefour allows customers to pay for items including furniture, electronics and even perishables in monthly installments.
Recently, they raised over USD 12M that they have set aside to expand their operations into Tanzania, Ghana and Nigeria. At the moment, they have been operating in Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda.
To benefit from this partnership, customers will have to sign up on the Lipa Later website. After signing up, they will be awarded a credit limit which they will then use to shop for any product of their choice from Sage Buyers.
