1Introduction
BNPL lets shoppers split a purchase, typically into four interest-free instalments. The US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau reviewed data from five major providers in a September 2022 report.
2Discussion
BNPL loans rose from about 16.8 million in 2019 to about 180 million in 2021, with volume growing from roughly $2 billion to $24.2 billion.
3Conclusion
The CFPB highlights three concerns: weaker protections in disputes and refunds, extensive harvesting of user data, and “loan stacking” when consumers use several BNPL services at once without it showing in credit records.
