    Does Google do credit (other than prepaid cards)? I’m pretty sure Amazon does payment plans do they’re more bank-like. Google has GPay so they’re tied in more like with credit card companies, though AFAIK you do still need an actual linked card to make purchases with that.

      I just checked an Amazon purchase that had the option for a payment plan, my options were to use my Chase card affiliated with Amazon or Affirm which is a 3rd party that is offering the structured payment. Not sure what it looks like for others, but if it’s similar, then Amazon wouldn’t be doing anything bank-like with those payments.
