What the app is
Sezzle Inc. is a Minneapolis-based fintech company listed on the Nasdaq (ticker: SEZL). It began as an online checkout option that let shoppers split purchases into four interest-free payments. Today the Sezzle App bundles several services:
Pay in 2, Pay in 4, Pay in 5, Pay in Full and Monthly Payments — see payment plans.

Sezzle features
Shop with Pay in 4 and Pay in 2
Browse partner stores in the app or choose Sezzle at checkout. Pay in 4 splits a purchase into four payments over six weeks with 25% due at checkout; Pay in 2 splits it into two payments two weeks apart. Both are interest-free when paid on time.
Request Sezzle Cash
Eligible Sezzle Anywhere members see a SezzleCash tile. Pick an amount, review the flat fee and five payment dates, and choose instant debit delivery or a bank transfer.
Virtual card
The Sezzle virtual card, issued by WebBank, can be added to Apple Wallet or Google Pay. With Sezzle Anywhere you can use it wherever Visa is accepted; without a membership, single-use virtual cards work at select retailers and may include a small service fee.
Rewards and Sezzle Spend
Sezzle Spend gives up to 2% back on Pay in Full purchases. The rewards hub adds points for activities such as buying gas, shopping featured brands and completing in-app tasks.
Sezzle Mobile
Sezzle also markets a phone plan, Sezzle Mobile, starting at about $29.99 per month on AT&T's network. It is optional and separate from the credit features.
Your Sezzle spending power
Your limit reflects what Sezzle believes you can comfortably repay. It is based on your Sezzle payment history, credit information and overall financial picture. New users typically start low; limits commonly rise after several orders are paid on time.
Sezzle recommends having at least 25% of an order's total available on your payment method at checkout. For practical steps, read how to increase your Sezzle spending limit.
Managing payments in the app
Move an installment up to two weeks later. The first reschedule on an order is often free; later ones can cost up to $7.50.
Pay one installment or the whole order at any time with no penalty.
Switch the card or bank account for each order.
When a merchant processes a refund, Sezzle applies it to your remaining installments first.
“Across our testing, the single best habit was opening the Sezzle App every payday to check the next two weeks of installments. It takes thirty seconds and is the easiest way to avoid failed-payment fees.”
— Marcus Reyes, Senior Writer, Payments & Fintech AppsSecurity and privacy
The Sezzle App supports biometric login and two-factor verification by text. Sezzle never asks for your password by phone or email.
Be wary of messages that ask you to “verify” your account through a link — always open the app directly. If your phone is lost, contact Sezzle support to lock your account and remove the virtual card from your wallet.
