Where can I find my Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL)
offers?

"•••" in the top menu bar. Simply click on "Buy Now, Pay
Later" in the dropdown menu to see your offers.
Mobile
Banking App: Select "Menu" —
then "More" from the available options. Select "Buy Now,

What if I don't see any BNPL offers?
If you do not see any BNPL offers, it may be because of your current account status, or your recent debit card purchases are not eligible for BNPL. If you already have active BNPL plans, you may not be eligible for additional offers until the active plans are paid back.
What is an eligible purchase?
An eligible purchase is a debit card purchase made in the past 60 days that is at least $100, and was not a cash equivalent purchase (e.g., ATM withdrawal, money order, cash advance, etc.). Other restrictions surrounding the merchant type and transaction limits may affect BNPL eligibility.
Can BNPL installment loans help me establish credit or
improve my credit score?
No, Tigers Community
Credit Union's debit card BNPL offers do not require a credit check. Additionally, BNPL
plans are not reported to the credit bureaus so a BNPL plan that is paid on time does not
improve your credit score.
However, an unpaid BNPL that becomes delinquent and is subsequently referred to Member Solutions may be reported to the credit bureau.
Call us any time at (573) 443-8462 for information on improving your credit score.
How long will an offer be displayed in digital banking?
BNPL offers expire 60 days after a transaction posting date. If
it disappears from your offers, and it has not been 60 days since the debit card purchase
posted, then the offer was removed for another reason. This can happen for several reasons, most
commonly:
• Another BNPL offer was accepted and you do not qualify for both
•
Account activity changed, and you no longer qualify for a new BNPL offer
How many BNPL plans can I have at the same time?
You may be eligible for up to 5 active BNPL plans at a time. However, this does not mean that every individual will qualify for 5 plans at once. Member eligibility is based on your account relationship.
What is the minimum transaction amount for a qualifying
BNPL offer?
The minimum qualifying debit card purchase amount is $100.
What is the maximum amount I can borrow with BNPL?
The maximum amount allowed is $2,500 combined for all active BNPL plans. However, this does not mean that every individual will qualify for the maximum amount. BNPL eligibility is based on your account relationship.
What are the BNPL plan repayment options?
Our BNPL program includes 3-month, 6-month, 9-month and 12-month repayment options. Each individual will be offered the repayment options that they qualify for; this means that you may not see all 4 options when accepting a BNPL offer.
Once an installment plan is established, the term and due date cannot be changed.
Can I cancel a BNPL plan once I
accept an offer?
No. An installment loan cannot be cancelled, but you can pay the loan off early early in digital banking, or by contacting a Tigers Community Member Representative at (573) 443-8462.
