Bouwer Bosch and Themba Robin are back with more hilarity, this time for a series of adverts with Payflex, and it took more than “phree” takes to get it right.
South Africa (03 October 2024) – Friends and comedy duo Bouwer Bosch and Themba Robin just keep bringing the funny! They have teamed up with Payflex to promote the new ‘Pay in 3’ campaign, but Bouwer really struggled to get his pronunciations right. The hilarious duo took their friendship to a new level, and it left us giggling!
To promote the launch of Pay in 3, Payflex worked with South Africa’s much-loved comedy duo to explain how Payflex Pay in 3 works.
Payflex is South Africa’s largest independent Buy Now Pay Later provider; it enables shoppers to get what they want now and pay later, interest and fee-free. With Pay Now, Pay in 4, and the newly launched Pay in 3, they have become SA’s most flexible payment provider.
To get the message out there, Payflex has shared a creative advert series that has South Africa laughing. From the first take to the last, Bouwer gave them all grey hairs. However, the outcome is beautiful!
Take one; Bouwer tries to explain that Pay in 3 allows online shoppers to split their purchase payments into three interest-free payments. Let’s just say the take really tests Themba’s patience.
Realising the struggles Bouwer was facing, Themba got creative for take two, drawing up a few ‘sub-titles’ to help advert viewers get the message.
And finally, we have a winner! Sort of…
The concept of Buy Now, Pay Later is still relatively new to the South African market. Payflex shares that it differs from traditional payment options such as credit cards and lay-bys as it has shorter repayment periods without the hefty interest rates and fees like conventional credit models; in fact, there are no interest fees at all!
How does Pay in 3 work?
First, you’ll need a Payflex account. The good news is that it only takes 2 minutes to set up. Registering for Payflex only requires a South African ID number and a valid bank account.
You can then shop online at stores such as Takealot or Superbalist and make your payment in three interest-free instalments.
It’s a no-brainer. Instead of paying for an item in full and upfront, you can split your payments and have extra cash available for life’s other pleasures.
