Originally launched as Buddy, the company was a fintech startup in the Czech Republic specializing in deferred payment solutions for online and offline purchases. Its core service allows customers to buy goods and pay for them later, typically within a few weeks, without interest. In 2021, the company was acquired by the ČSOB banking group, a major financial institution in the Czech Republic. Following the acquisition, Buddy was rebranded to "Skip Pay" to align with a broader service offering that now includes installment plans and a dedicated payment card.
