Buy now, pay later (BNPL) is one of the payment choices where a customer pays for purchase over time in installments, ensuring the merchants get paid in full at the end of the installment period. This credit form limits the strains on the cash flow of users and enables them to explore customized credit plans while offering lower interest rates, late fees, and penalties. The rising use of digital & mobile-based payments owing to the proliferation of online purchases in support of the high availability of funding for the BNPL startups is the major factor expanding the market development. Declining credit approval rates and the strict government regulations for licensing the BNPL plans are restraining the adoption of BNPL services. However, with the improving awareness regarding this BNPL credit form, backed by various technological advancements focused on AI & ML, the product is expected to extend across cryptocurrency payment models and applications, creating immense opportunities for BNPL utilization.

Regional Insights

The Americas and Europe region have observed tremendous growth in the use of BNPL, owing to the presence of fintech startups exploring new aids of technology integration with BNPL services and solutions. The millennial population in the region is the most prominent user of BNPL, with the rise of bank-based BNPL services and the partnerships between BNPL firms and payment entities offering customized products for the high number of credit-acquiring users. In the Asia-Pacific, BNPL is observed to be rising, owing to the customers’ shift to mobile-based credit options and few regulations surrounding these products. However, Malaysia, Australia, and Singapore are suggesting guidelines for BNPL which can help in expanding the growth of these platforms in the future. The high degree of mobile empowerment, investment in financial inclusion, and limited availability of short-term credits characterize the Asia-Pacific, along with the Middle East & Africa, as a potential center for BNPL innovation and utilization.
