Buy Now Pay Later can be a convenient way to pay for something, but when unchecked, it can also lead to financial hardship.

In last week’s Senate Economics Committee hearing into our BNPL bill, we heard:

🖐🏻 Many people reaching out to financial counsellors have up to three separate BNPL accounts.

💳 BNPL must be regulated as a form of credit, because it is.

💲 Our changes will require BNPL providers to protect consumers from unaffordable loans and excessive fees.

We are taking this vital step to make Buy Now Pay Later a better deal for all Australians.

Ensuring these services contribute positively to our economy, without compromising consumer welfare.
