What is the innovative payment product that could topple BNPL?
It is difficult to predict how the economic downturn and recession will impact the Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) industry. As interest rates continue to rise, credit card borrowing is growing more expensive. Now there is a new breed of start-ups that have turned the concept of BNPL on its head. Save Now, Buy Later (SNBL) schemes incentivise saving for big-ticket purchases while avoiding the potential debt trap that comes with BNPL. Mark Beresford (Director, London) along with the Retail Payments Practice at EDC have taken a closer look at SNBL as this new alternative payment method starts to gain momentum.
