How BNPL is disrupting the credit Business?

How BNPL is disrupting the credit Business?

BNPL apps are completely aligned with the consumer, as they do not levy late fees or deferred interest to take advantage of customers as banks do. Risk modelling is used by BNPL enterprises, and they are ideally positioned to undertake credit assessments and provide loans. This is due to the fact that they have access to critical data, and merchants are ready to give the BNPL provider a cut because they now have vital customer-level data, and the BNPL option allows merchants to produce more sales.

One of the reasons why customers prefer BNPL apps over the traditional credit card offered by the banks is their reliability, ease to apply, seamless process, and minimum charges. Unlike bank credit cards, which are hard to get as customers need to provide various documents such as income proof, CIBIL score, and other tons of documents.
