Risk – the possibility that something undesirable will occur – is always around us. And we make decisions based around risk every day, from the moment we take our first step, ride our first bike, drive our first car, or buy our first home. These types of risks are usually common and easily understood. As such, we have health insurance in case we get sick or injured, wear helmets on our bikes, wear seatbelts in our cars, and install alarm systems in our homes, all to reduce the risks around us.

One could consider it the “layaway of the digital age,” except unlike with layaway, the consumer does not have to pay in full before taking their purchase home, using the service, obtaining the tickets to an event or destination, etc., which is a huge draw to using BNPL as a non-cash payment method.
