New research out today shows that regulation of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) might mean 1 in 4 customers lose access. Our CEO reacts in The Sun: “It’s clear that regulation of BNPL is needed... but I worry that the new rules may cause more harm than good.” www.thesun.co.uk/money/381262...

You may have seen news today about the Government moving forward on its plans to regulate #BuyNowPayLater (#BNPL) credit.
