About Perpay

Perpay is a buy now, pay later (BNPL) company that lets customers access funds based on their income and pay off purchases in installments taken from their future paychecks. It offers two main products: the Perpay Marketplace, an online store with pay‑over‑time options, and the Perpay Mastercard credit card, designed to help cardholders build credit while earning rewards. The company is based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was established in 2017. It became a Certified B Corporation in 2025 and emphasizes helping customers improve their financial health.

Pros
  • Spending limits based on income, not credit scores
  • Perpay Mastercard can be used anywhere Mastercard is accepted worldwide
  • Earn 2% back in rewards on eligible credit card payments
  • No hard credit check for Marketplace
Cons
  • Monthly card service fees add to the overall cost
  • Late and insufficient payment fees apply

Perpay loan products

There are two ways to use Perpay’s BNPL services:

  • Credit card: An unsecured Mastercard that’s paid off in regular installments with funds drawn directly from your paycheck. When signing up, you’ll link your payroll information, and a portion of your paycheck will be directly deposited into your account each pay period. Credit limits start at $300.
  • Perpay Marketplace: An online marketplace where consumers can make BNPL purchases up to $1,000 with no additional interest or fees. To use this service, submit your payroll information at checkout, and if approved, choose your payment plan, and funds will be taken out of your future paychecks via direct deposit. Cardholders receive 2% back in rewards on purchases made from the Perpay Marketplace.

Perpay rates

The annual percentage rate (APR) for the Perpay Credit Card is 20.99% plus prime. This rate applies anytime your balance isn’t paid in full. As of August 2025, the APR was 28.49%.

Perpay fees

There are some fees associated with the Perpay Credit Card:

  • One-time account opening fee: $9
  • Monthly card fee: $9
  • Late payment and insufficient funds: $24
  • International purchase transaction fee: 3%

How to apply for a Perpay loan

  • Credit card: To get a Perpay Credit Card, you can apply online by entering your contact information, social security number, employer name, pay cycle and average paycheck amount. Most applicants receive approval within 60 seconds, and applying won’t affect your FICO credit score. Once approved, your card is shipped, and you can use it anywhere Mastercard is accepted.
  • Marketplace: To use the Perpay Marketplace, create an account with your personal and payroll information. You can then make purchases on the Marketplace that are paid back in installments drawn directly from your paycheck. Your spending limit is based on your estimated net pay, but it can increase over time when you accumulate a history of on-time payments.

    Reviewed Sept. 24, 2025

    I have paid into a bank account using direct deposit. So far Perpay has collected $200. using this direct deposit and I have yet to receive the credit card. That means they have collected direct deposits for 1 month since I am paid bimonthly. They say to wait 15 business days before reporting non receipt of the card. That translates into 21 days, so it has been considerable time since they began receiving my direct deposit. The credit card waiting period starts all over again when I report the card missing. They will not expedite a card to me. In this day and age that does seem quite excessive when everything is done pretty quickly. Really disappointed with how they run their operation. They push their in-house shopping quite heavily, which is a sham because they mark their items up sometimes 75% over retail.
