'''Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL)''' is a financing option for online purchases that allows consumers to pay for items in monthly installments. Companies such as [[Klarna]], [[Affirm]], [[PayPal]], and [[Apple Pay]] offer Buy Now, Pay Later loans at the check-out of online retailers, advertising low monthly payments spread across four months. Because the financers generally commit soft credit checks and offer interest-free monthly installments within the four-month period, BNPL is highly targeted toward those who have bad or no credit at all. It disproportionately affects vulnerable consumers, leading to major criticisms of predatory lending.
