SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Kohler Credit Union has launched a buy now, pay later (BNPL) solution aimed at giving members more flexibility in managing everyday expenses, according to the credit union.
The digital offering allows members to spread payments over time with defined terms and is designed to help households navigate rising costs and shifting financial priorities, Kohler Credit Union said.
“This launch reflects a very intentional step forward in how we support our members,” said Tony Klockow, president and CEO. “Members want flexibility, but they also want trust and clarity. Our Buy Now, Pay Later solution delivers both, within a relationship they already rely on.”
The BNPL feature is integrated into the credit union’s existing digital banking platform, allowing members to access it when needed for unplanned expenses or larger purchases, the credit union said.
‘Seamless & Reliable’
“This is a strong example of how we’re evolving our technology environment to deliver modern capabilities that are seamless, reliable, and aligned with how our members want to engage with us,” CIO Matt Fehrmann said in a statement.
Kohler Credit Union said the new tool is part of a broader effort to expand member-focused financial solutions, emphasizing clear terms and responsible lending practices. Unlike third-party BNPL providers, the credit union said its offering is delivered within an existing member relationship and includes direct support.
