About Splitit

Our vision is to help consumers responsibly enrich their lives by leveraging the credit they've already earned in a new and impactful way. Today consumers want control of how they pay for the things they want and need. Splitit is the only payment platform that enables consumers to use their existing credit to break payments into smaller, bite-sized pieces to pay over-time with no interest, applications or fees. That keeps money in the hands of shoppers to use as they want. By helping shoppers pay small we help businesses grow big. That's a win-win. Splitit operates globally and has offices in Atlanta and Tel Aviv.
