Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) is a payment option that allows you to make a purchase without having to pay out of pocket. In most cases, you sign up with a firm that provides this service, and they pay you when you make a purchase.
However, after the lender makes a payment on your behalf, you must refund the money within a certain time frame. You have the option of paying it in one single sum or in no-cost Equated Monthly Installments (EMIs). If you do not pay the loan within the specified repayment period, the lender will be required to charge you interest. Any further delay could have a negative influence on your credit score.
How does the BNPL system work?
The main difference between BNPL service providers is their operational model, which is based on terms and conditions. This is how it normally goes down:
Make a purchase at one of the partnering stores.
Choose 'Buy now, pay later' as your payment method.
Pay a modest portion of the total purchase price as a down payment.
The balance will be paid down in a series of interest-free EMIs.
Note: EMI payments can be made by bank transfer, check, credit card, debit card, or direct debit from a bank account.
