The Financial Services (FS) industry continues to undergo rapid change. Recently, there has been an influx of new financial products into the market. As consumers are faced with more choice than ever before, the rise of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) products provides a shining example of an ever more flexible financial landscape. With an estimated retail value of £9.6 billion, BNPL is the fastest-growing payment method in the UK.
