charge accounts
Buy now, pay later
Charge accounts are credit arrangements with retailers or service providers that allow customers to buy now and pay later, typically receiving a monthly bill.

The term now sounds somewhat dated, as generic credit cards have largely replaced store-specific billing arrangements.
