This is great news and something @FairByDesign have been calling for for some time. Regulation will put BNPL on a level playing field with other forms of debt and proper affordability checks will have to be undertaken. Must go alongside ⬆️ affordable credit though.
Millions of people use Buy-Now, Pay-Later to manage their finances - but protections are needed to stop people racking up unmanageable debt. I promised to take action before the election and now we are delivering on regulating the BNPL sector.
