What is Buy Now, Pay Later

  • Buy Now Pay Later or BNPL, as it is popularly known, is a financing option that allows you to buy a product or get a service without paying for it immediately.
  • It’s simply a short- term loan product where the BNPL lender pays the merchant or service provider at the point-of- sale and allows you to repay the loan at a future date with little or no interest charge.
  • The repayment can either be in lumpsum or in the form of equated monthly instalments (EMIs).
  • g. Zest- Money, LazyPay, MobiKwik, Paytm Postpaid, Amazon Pay Later, Flipkart Pay Later, Capital Float among others.

In what way is it different from credit card payment?

  • Both credit cards and BNPL are similar in a sense that both offer deferred repayment options to the borrower.
  • However, there are certain key differences between these two credit products.
