DUBLIN, May 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Buy Now, Pay Later: Gaining Scale and the Disrupting Status Quo in Lending" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering

This research explains the current market, discusses the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to fintech, and explains the business and cashflow of this emerging credit option.

The research compares both consumer and merchant costs in comparison to credit cards. It dispells the claims that the product is a cheaper option for buyers and sellers. Research also covers the liberal credit policies used to gain scale, and suggests that fintechs consider tightening credit policies so that losses do not cannabalize profits.

"BNPL is not the "new thing" in lending; it is a modernized version of retail finance. There is certainly a high appeal, but with limited credit policies, consumers need to self-govern their retail purchasing so that they do not overextend themselves financially," comments Brian Riley, Director, Credit Advisory Service

Riley continues, "Financial institutions and other players in the credit cycle need to pay attention to the way fintechs aggressively book accounts. Fintechs should not compromise their credit standards, but the rapid take-up indicates that credit card issuers must provide access to thin credit files, and watch customers mature. Fintechs also need to think beyond the single transaction and look at the way banks manage a customer's lifecycle."

Highlights of the research note include:

    --  Forecasted U.S. volumes through 2024, when they will exceed $100 billion
    --  Placing the merchant at the center of the relationship, not the consumer
    --  What will happen to the BNPL interest-free model when the prime rate
        rises
    --  A discussion on interchange versus merchant discount and why credit
        cards can be cheaper
