How Buy Now, Pay Later Works When Shopping for a Phone

Flagship phones aren't cheap, and that's exactly why installment plans through providers like tabby and tamara have become so popular in the UAE.

The basics

  • Split your total into equal installments (typically 4 payments, interest-free) or a longer monthly plan
  • Approval happens in seconds at checkout — no lengthy paperwork
  • Your device ships or is ready for pickup immediately, just like a regular order

Good habits when using installment plans

  • Only commit to a plan you can comfortably repay on schedule
  • Keep track of due dates to avoid late fees
  • Use it for planned purchases, not impulse buys

Used responsibly, BNPL is a convenient way to get the device you need today while spreading the cost — without touching a credit card.
