Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) is exactly that. It's an agreement that means you don't have to pay anything for a period of time after you take out your loan (also called a deferred period). But if you do make payments, you could save on paying some fees or interest. When you have to pay it'll be in monthly instalments - unless you pay off your loan before the end of the deferred period.
You sign up for it when you buy When you buy your item, you sign up to a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) agreement.
You don't have to pay for a while We give you a deferred period. You can make payments if you want or even pay off all you owe. Before the period ends we'll contact you. We'll let you know how to pay off some or all your loan before you start paying any instalments or interest.
When your deferred period ends You’ll start to pay interest if you don’t pay off you loan by this date.
How you're charged interest If you took your loan out after 12 September 2019, you’ll be charged interest on the balance remaining at the end of the deferred period. It’s calculated from the date your application was accepted. Then it’s added monthly (based on the outstanding balance) until your loan’s paid off.
If you miss a payment or pay late It could affect your credit rating, which may make it harder or more expensive for you to get credit in the future. If you don’t pay by the due date, you'll be charged a £12 fee. We'll try to contact you to talk about your account. If it carries on, we may sell your debt to a debt purchase company or you may have to go to court. Get in touch if you're worried about keeping up with your payments. Financial support
