Note
Buy now, pay later (BNPL) services are defined as installment loan solutions that allow consumers to purchase and finance a product or service and pay in scheduled installments. These services are also known as digital installments, installment lending, and point-of-sale financing. Loan options ... include no-interest loans, as well as interest-based loans of a predetermined duration. BNPL loans can be accessed at the point-of-sale (online or in-person), usually via a BNPL loan provider's branded app, via a merchant’s website or app, or via proximity mobile payment apps like Apple Pay and Google Pay. Examples include Affirm, Afterpay, Klarna, Zip, and PayPal’s BNPL service. Some short-term, no-interest loans can be accessed only at retailers. Examples include Bread Pay and SetPay. Services that provide a revolving line of credit, retailer-branded financing options, closed-loop marketplace financing services, and card-linked installment services are excluded.
