SEAT Spain has announced they are launching Bumper across their network. Franchisees will be offering both PayLater, Bumper’s interest-free monthly payment option, and PayNow, a one-off payment option customers can use to pay remotely from their own devices.  

Initial uptake has sky-rocketed with 182 sites signed up and 228 vehicles repaired through the Bumper platform, an uptake in part due to the promotion through SEAT’s website and social media channels. 

Easing car repairs amid the cost-of-living crisis 

Bumper’s Buy Now Pay Later allows drivers to better manage their finances by easing the burden of car repairs into their monthly outgoings. This a trend we’ve already seen take off across the retail sector with the likes of Klarna. 

Nick Squire, Bumper’s International Sales manager, responsible for Bumper’s roll-out across European markets, commented, “We’ve seen fantastic early adoption of Buy Now Pay Later here in Spain, with sites already seeing a reduction in discount levels in favour of offering Bumper’s monthly payment option. 

“Moreover, SEAT’s quick roll-out has helped to increase traction with dealerships by placing considerable focus on driving our BNPL offering via their Facebook and website. Getting the product in front of dealerships is key to the early stages of our move into Spain and SEAT has proved to be essential in making that happen.”
