Buy now, pay later (BNPL), also referred to as point of sale (PoS) installment loans, is a short-term financing option that enables consumers to spread out payments for purchases over a period of time. The increase in eCommerce activity during the COVID-19 pandemic brought along with it a strong interest in alternative spending options.
• BNPL, a subsegment of the digital payments sector, affords consumers the flexibility to shop and pay in interest-free installments at certain stores.
• The option has been of more interest to people in the 18-44 age group.
• In recent months, the BNPL sector has shown signs of slowing and is attracting more scrutiny from regulators because of its position as an alternative to the highly regulated credit card industry.
