Amazon has taken an equity stake in BillMeLater, planning to allow users to buy items at over 700 websites, including the Apple Store, Overstock, and Walmart.com, and then– bill them later.
The company Amazon will soon offer the service as well, reports TechCrunch (via MarketingVOX).
BillMe works by asking users to enter their birthdate and the last four digits of their social security number and then performs an instant credit check to determine the risk.
A competitor of PayPal’s Pay Later service, BillMe has had 3 million sign ups and is on track to earn $100 million in revenues this year.
Though it’s certainly a risky business, the service is likely an attractive alternative to those worried about online credit card theft.
