Building a network of merchants is key to building a BNPL business, since have said consumers care more about the merchants offering installment plans than the actual BNPL provider. Klarna, for example, has divested its Checkout product and forged partnerships with payment companies such as Stripe, Worldpay, Adyen and other payment processors, enabling Klarna to add more than 100,000 new retailers in the past year. Klarna has added an updated Visa card, as has Affirm and Afterpay. Amazon, which has a partnership with Affirm, last week boosted its BNPL game by acquiring Axio, a Bengaluru, India-based fintech that offers installment lending and related technology. "Of course we're looking and keeping an eye on what the fintech sector is doing," Mani said. "We think we have a lot of digital-first products that we can transport over to Pay's case, it has pursued a strategy of partnering with fintechs — specifically, ChargeAfter, FreedomPay and Shopify. "We have seen Affirm's partnership with Apple to replace Apple Pay Later to extend its reach, and I think we will see more of these deals as BNPL providers work to enlarge their acceptance points," McPherson said. One challenge is the sheer proliferation of BNPL providers, and the risk that consumers may overextend themselves by taking on too many BNPL loans from different providers, who can't see each other's exposures, McPherson said, noting Pay does a credit pull before approving a line of credit, and reports to the credit bureaus, so this reduces its risk at the expense of losing some customers who may have a credit freeze in place. "As more BNPL providers do this, the overall risk should go down, and it will become more difficult to get financing, which is probably a good thing," McPherson said. What people want , American Banker's publisher, which notes 60% of Gen Z and 66% of millennial consumers are likely to use BNPL. Arizent also reports BNPL is one of the biggest reasons consumers are shifting away from traditional banks to fintechs. own research found 82% of Americans say pay-over-time products have benefits, 49% of Americans have used a pay-over-time product to make a purchase, and 68% of American consumers say not having flexible payment options is a deal breaker. "The consumer trends are well known," Mani said. "People want to choose how they pay." The banks are late to the game, and BNPL focused fintechs have grabbed the first mover advantage, said Aaron Press, research director of worldwide payment strategies for IDC. "This not only makes it hard to acquire consumer customers, but also to get space on increasingly crowded merchant payment pages. And for many consumers, association with a big bank can be a liability," Press said. Pay appears to be an interesting experiment, Press said, noting it's a hybrid with elements of both traditional and BNPL models. "It offers a BNPL type of experience but is doing a hard credit check and offering an open line of credit. It's also similar to private label programs, without requiring involvement of the networks."
