Payment network Dwolla has moved into the lending space with a new platform, Dwolla Credit. The Des Moines, Iowa-based company has partnered with Alliance Data Retail Services to offer the service, which costs the same as Dwolla’s payment service: $0.25 for purchases $10 and more, and free for purchases under $10. Users without enough funds in their Dwolla account make a purchase as usual and simply repay the balance at a later date. PayPal is of course also in the loan space. It will be interesting to see how users use these services and for what purchases.
