PayBright by Affirm and Apple are rolling out a buy now, pay later (BNPL) service in Canada, per a report from Bloomberg. This expands Apple’s financial services offerings.

The new BNPL offering will allow Apple customers in Canada to pay for Apple devices, like iPhones, Macs, and iPads, over a period of one to two years.

The companies will be debuting the new program via Apple’s eCommerce and brick-and-mortar retail stores in Canada.

A report in July indicated that Apple Pay users would have access to a so-called “Apple Pay Later,” which would allow users to purchase products and then pay for them in monthly installments. Per the report, Apple Pay and Apple Pay Later would be connected once Apple launched the new offering. The program won’t be unfamiliar to Apple users —  as previously noted, the Apple Pay Later and the Apple Card Monthly Installments program have similarities.
