Buy now, pay later: A split decision
Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services like Affirm (AFRM) and Klarna (KLAR) are becoming a go-to option at checkout, allowing shoppers to split purchases into smaller, often interest-free payments. Federal Reserve data shows younger users are more likely to use BNPL—and more likely to miss a payment. From an investment standpoint, analysts remain divided between Affirm and Klarna, while experts warn the convenience of BNPL can come with budgeting risks.
