About
PayJustNow is a South African buy-now-pay-later service, founded in 2019 by Craig Newborn, Greg van der Riet and Mark McChlery and backed by Weaver Fintech. Its core Pay in 3 plan splits a purchase into three equal payments: the first is taken at checkout and the other two are deducted automatically on the shopper's salary date, interest- and fee-free if paid on time, with a small penalty fee if late. Approval uses a soft affordability and ID check. Shoppers pick it at online checkouts such as Takealot or scan a QR code in store, and an interest-bearing Pay in 12 plan is also offered. As of March 2026, PayJustNow served over 3.5 million customers and 3,000 directly integrated merchants.
