Installment payment was initially limited to the purchase of ordinary daily goods or services. Later, with the rapid development of productivity, the scale of industrial and agricultural production is expanding and the cost is increasing. In addition, with the development of bank credit, the field of installment payment is extended to enterprises to buy large machinery and equipment and raw materials.
With the improvement of China's financial services and the change of people's consumption habits, installment payment, which is popular abroad, has been introduced to China and quickly recognized by domestic consumers.

Young people who spend by installment are usually called installment families.
