IKEA partners with Tabby to offer pay later option in UAE

Sweden-based home accessories company Ikea will offer an installment payment plan to customers for their purchases.

The furnishing retailer has teamed up with buy-now-pay-later app Tabby, enabling customers to buy products online or in IKEA stores and pay after 14 days or over three months in installments.

The flexible payment option is available in-store in Dubai at IKEA Festival Plaza and Festival City, in Abu Dhabi at Ikea Yas Island, Al Ain Bawadi and Al Wahda and will roll out online by the end of this year.

By clicking on the ‘Pay with Tabby’ option in the online checkout process, customers can use this service. Filling out a mobile number and email address, and linking their credit or debit card activates the service.

After partnering with ToysRUs and Ace stores in the UAE, the IKEA collaboration is Tabby’s third big in-store rollout.

“This customer-focused and flexible payment option is already proving popular in the market and now Ikea’s customers can enjoy instalment options at no extra cost,” said Paul Carey, vice president, Cardsand Payments at Al-Futtaim, holders of the IKEA franchise in the UAE.
