BNPL Now Regulated for Good | Sheffield News

Buy Now, Pay Later is now officially regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority — a game-changer after a four-thousand-percent surge in usage since 2020. Most people, especially Gen-Z, are unaware of the changes, with many wrongly believing these services don’t impact credit scores. This new rule levels the playing field: lenders must run affordability checks, clearly outline payment terms, and offer protections for purchases over $100 — similar to credit cards. If things go wrong, consumers can now turn to the Financial Ombudsman Service. It’s not a magic fix, but it’s a major step toward smarter, more transparent credit — and still, it’s up to us to use it wisely.
