Actowiz Solutions delivered retail and merchant data intelligence for an Australian BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later) fintech platform — tracking retailer payment integrations, merchant ecosystems, and consumer retail signals to support partnership strategy and competitive positioning.

Client Overview

The client is an Australian BNPL fintech platform competing in the buy-now-pay-later market pioneered by Afterpay and Zip. Their growth strategy depended on understanding which retailers offered which BNPL options, identifying merchant partnership opportunities, and tracking competitor BNPL presence.

Australia pioneered the modern BNPL industry — and the competitive landscape, with multiple BNPL providers vying for merchant and consumer adoption, is intensely data-driven.

Business Challenges

Retailer BNPL Integration Tracking

Knowing which retailers offered which BNPL options (Afterpay, Zip, and others) required systematic monitoring of retailer checkout and product pages.

Merchant Partnership Opportunities

Identifying retailers not yet offering the client's BNPL — or offering only competitors — surfaced partnership opportunities.

Competitor BNPL Presence

Tracking competitor BNPL providers' merchant footprint informed competitive strategy.

Consumer Retail Signal Analysis

Retail pricing and category data provided context for BNPL transaction patterns and risk modelling.

Project Objectives

The client partnered with Actowiz Solutions to:

• Track retailer BNPL payment integrations across Australian e-commerce
• Identify merchant partnership opportunities
• Monitor competitor BNPL providers' merchant footprint
• Aggregate consumer retail pricing and category signals
