Beyond the numbers, we want super.money to be seen as India's best affordability platform, and to extend splitStore across partner brands and categories over time," super.money, Founder and CEO, Prakash Sikaria told PTI.On splitStore, super.money customers can browse a full catalogue, split the payment across multiple installments at zero interest and zero fees, and have the product delivered before
payment completion.
Product Catalogue and Delivery Infrastructure

Brands such as Apple, Nothing, Mokobara, Nike, Marshall, Adidas and Snitch are available with 60 lakh products and are supported by Flipkart's delivery infrastructure.
Addressing New-to-Credit Users with Closed-Loop System
Sikaria said that UPI transformed how India pays and the next opportunity is transforming the way in which India shops."Consumers today don't just want instant payments, they want instant access. Many young, new-to-credit users don't have a credit score or a credit card. So we built splitStore as a closed-loop, purchase-tied credit product with just a small down payment, followed by three instalments. No interest and no hidden charges at all. It lets first-time users build a repayment track record safely and graduate to bigger credit products over time," he said.Sikaria said at present buy now pay later service or EMI products give an open-loop limit usable across merchants while splitStore is closed-loop which means credit is tied to a specific purchase from catalogue on the platform, with a down payment upfront and repayment in three instalments."There's no revolving line to overdraw, no hidden fees, no late-fee profit motive. That structure cuts risk significantly, which is what lets us serve new-to-credit users safely," he said.New users on the platform will need to go through the KYC verification process before they start shopping with access to a credit facility.
