Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL)
The BNPL market in Australia has developed rapidly, with the concept of customers taking out small credit lines to spread payments over time becoming more widely accepted. The clothing and electronics categories were the most popular for consumers who have used Buy Now Pay Later services in the country. While adoption rates of BNPL in Australia are relatively high, it is yet to be seen if this payment method will establish itself as a standard payment method in the future.
