Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for extending installment options to users. One example computer-implemented method includes, as part of an authentication challenge to a user for a transaction, requesting, by a communication device of the user, installment options from an installment service provider (ISP) based on an identifier specific to a first party involved in the transaction. In response, the ISP retrieves the requested installment options and provides them to the communication device. The method also includes displaying, by the communication device, the installment options to the user, soliciting a selection of one of the installment options, and, in response to the selection, identifying the selected one of the installment options to the ISP, whereby the ISP records the selected installment option as payment for the transaction.
