Smart Communications Inc., announced its team-up with a fintech startup named Plantina, which is based in Silicon Valley.
The partnership will allow Smart subscribers to purchase a prepaid load and pay for it later in times when they really need it but don’t have the money for it yet.
Thanks to Plentina, Smart subscribers can access the Buy Now, Pay Later service so they can instantly make micro consumer loans to pay for their prepaid load, possibly even the new GIGA Power promos.

In the future, Smart hopes to extend the service to their retail and device partners to provide customers with a more convenient and flexible mode of payment if they intend to purchase smartphones or other gizmos from Smart.
To start, users should first download the Plentina app and register. If they pass the credit scoring, they can instantly loan and purchase load instantly. This is especially important if you need a prepaid load for emergencies, or for work and school.
Like most loans, the repayment can be done on an installment basis.
