Zilch is a virtual payment card that allows users to shop now and pay later for goods at thousands of online stores.
The best thing about Zilch is that it can be used at almost any online store, regardless of whether or not the retailer is partnered with Zilch itself. The below retailers offer Zilch as a payment method for free, but other online retailers may charge you a fee of £2.50 to use the platform.
Top shops that offer Zilch
How does Zilch work?
Zilch is slightly different to other buy now, pay later services (such as Klarna and Clearpay) in that you will be given a virtual Zilch card. In order to use it, select your chosen store on Zilch’s website, activate the card for that store and then start shopping! After that, you can order your goods with the Zilch card and the total cost of your shopping will be divided into four even chunks. At the time of purchase, 25% of the total order cost will come out of your attached payment method. The remaining 75% of the total will be taken from your account every 2 weeks (over a period of 6 weeks) at 25% each time.
