Episode 008: Buy Now Pay Wayyyyy Later: Why You Should Avoid BNPL Services + Loan Apps
BNPL, or Buy Now Pay Later, is all the rage these days. And Haley and Vee are raging all right. They capital H, HATE BNPL — and for good reason.
You want a new fancy Hydro Flask water bottle that is $40 and as you’re getting ready to checkout online, you are asked if you want to split the payment into 4 interest free payments of $10. This sounds like a pretty sweet deal. Why wouldn’t you want to do this!?
This episode covers all the cons and pros of these “services,” plus why you should steer clear of payday loan apps too.
In this episode, we chat about:
- The history of buy now pay later
- The communities targeted by BNLP
- Pros and cons
- Haley shares the payday lending app that asked to collab with her
