Our Story

Darby Payment Plan was founded in 2023 by financial professionals who saw a gap in the market: consumers were using Buy Now Pay Later services without fully understanding the terms, risks, and alternatives.

We started as a simple comparison site but quickly grew into a comprehensive resource. Today, over 2 million people visit Darby Payment Plan each month to research BNPL options, healthcare financing, and payment strategies.

Our team includes Certified Financial Planners (CFP®), former banking executives, and experienced consumer finance writers. We combine professional expertise with hands-on testing to deliver reviews you can trust.
