At CredPal, we leverage innovative tech solutions to empower individuals to manage their finances more effectively. Teaming up with Jumia isn’t just about facilitating seamless purchases; it’s about supporting individuals in reaching their aspirations, step by step”.

Jumia’s integration of a BNPL feature reflects a growing trend in the e-commerce industry, where BNPL services are becoming increasingly popular. Reports revealed that the global e-commerce buy now pay later market was valued at $4.2 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach $57.8 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 30.4% from 2023 to 2032.

Several factors have contributed to the significant rise of the e-commerce BNPL market in recent years. One major factor is the rise in popularity of internet shopping, which has encouraged more individuals to shop at online merchants.

Another factor driving the growth of the E-commerce BNPL market is the convenience it offers to consumers. By allowing customers to spread their payments over an item or items, the feature makes it easier for people to make larger purchases that they are not able to afford upfront.

Therefore, it is not far-fetched to say that the integration of a BNPL feature, will help Jumia to drive sales growth, while also providing customers with more flexibility and convenience.

Overall, the Jumia Nigeria and Credpal partnership represents a significant step towards innovating the online shopping experience in Nigeria, making it more inclusive and adaptable to the financial realities of its customer base.
