Is Afterpay worth that much? Sellers have to give 4 months instalments and still give commissions to afterpay...the markups on the products will be high...for consumers, pay within 4 months - is it a good deal? Currently some credit cards are giving 6 to 12 months interest free instalments... afterpay biz model is really not that great to justify the high acquisition value..

Customers pay a fee only if they miss an automated payment, a transgression that also locks their account until the balance is repaid. Afterpay says this limits bad debts, particularly in a downturn when job security is shaky and household finances are stretched.\nMost of Afterpay’s revenue comes from retail merchants, which pay a percentage of the value of each order placed by customers, plus a fixed fee. The company is expanding across the U.S. through deals with retailers including Anthropologie and Free People.\n“Square and Afterpay have a shared purpose,” said Jack Dorsey, Square’s chief executive. “We built our business to make the financial system more fair, accessible, and inclusive, and Afterpay has built a trusted brand aligned with those principles.”\nAfterpay, Australia’s largest tech company by market capitalization, said the deal implies a value of around 126.21 Australian dollars (about US$92.66) for each of its shares, representing a 31% premium to its closing price on Friday.\nAfterpay said its shareholders will receive 0.375 share of Square Class A common stock for each Afterpay share that they own. It expects Afterpay shareholders will own around 18.5% of the combined company when the deal completes.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":807688109,"gmtCreate":1628034861301,"gmtModify":1633754265188,"author":{"id":"3581508133146629","authorId":"3581508133146629","name":"Maygoo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f4734466f978732f03823f7b24b599b0","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3581508133146629","authorIdStr":"3581508133146629"},"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/807688109","repostId":1106026316,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":805758660,"gmtCreate":1627909161750,"gmtModify":1633755406860,"author":{"id":"3582020830270271","authorId":"3582020830270271","name":"tkj","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b4db3635974ce189ed8129eca6b5b618","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3582020830270271","authorIdStr":"3582020830270271"},"htmlText":"Is Afterpay worth that much?
