Note
Buy now, pay later (BNPL) services are defined as interest-free solutions provided by third-party payment platforms that allow consumers to purchase and finance a product or service, and pay in scheduled installments; also known as digital installments, installment lending and point-of-sale ... financing. Users are typically allowed to pay off balances in weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly installments. Failing to adhere to a predetermined payment plan will usually lead to late fees and interest charges. Consumers access these solutions at the point-of-sale (online or in-person), usually via a merchant’s website or app, via the third-party provider’s app, or via proximity mobile payment apps like Google Pay and Apple Pay. Examples include Affirm, Afterpay, Klarna, Sezzle, and PayPal’s BNPL service. Excludes services that provide a revolving line of credit, and retailer- and bank-branded financing options.More
