WHY DOES THE MARKET MATTER?

• Today, BNPL represents a small portion of overall spending on payment cards (including credit, debit, and prepaid cards), with the US seeing around $8T in overall annual spending. However, BNPL is at an inflection point and is expected to witness a 10-15x growth in spend volumes and exceed $1T in annual gross merchandise value by 2025. This projected growth has attracted the attention of major merchant businesses and enabled the enhancement of online users’ payment experiences.
• BNPL players have seen record funding in recent years. There have been major acquisitions in this space as well, such as Square acquiring AfterPay for $29B.
