Why do almost all apps offer 'buy now, pay later' facilities these days? What if the majority of people don't pay later?

The world economy runs by increasing the amount of debt on the common people. This fad is the latest addition to the list.

I get the same thought every time I get bombarded with “pre approved” loans from everywhere. Avail all the loan offers in a day or two and leave the country.

Indians today are not as loan averse as they used to be few decades back. Consumerism has settled into our culture and people don't mind taking debt for even small purchases.

In future things will only worsen but people who can manage their expenses need not worry about it.

It's called defaulting on the loan. If enough people do not pay the loans then the revenue generated minus the cost of funds of defaulters is the gross margin. If it's too many defaulters then the profits are negative and can lead to a severe downfall of the company. Most of these fintechs are masters of rotating money though.

What’s the difference between BNPL and Credit cards ? Aren’t both just loans you pay later ? Why this fancy new term when everyone understood Credit ?
