Yes the chunking into 4 payments, is the primary benefit of BNPL. It allows you to buy something significant (i.e. a laptop) and spread the payments over time.
The downside is its very easy to overspend and get stuck in a debt spiral
- omniscient_oce 5y agoIf someones cashflow is pushed to the edge with BNPL purchases it's so easy to get toppled over by an unexpected emergency. It really is quite scary thinking about it. Is it financial irresponsibility causing people to overextend themselves and their cashflow on frivolous purchases, or is it out of necessity and a wider issue such as poor economy / job market / wealth distribution causing people to turn to these services? - Either way, they feel rather predatory to me...
