The BNPL global landscape and latest trends

The buy-now-pay-later sector continues to enjoy a global boom, following its widespread take-up by consumers across the world during the pandemic. But regulators around the world are now beginning to take a closer look at the sector and, in some cases this could mean the introduction of new regulatory requirements on providers. 

Click above to watch our global FinTech team discuss the developing regulatory approaches to BNPL across the world; what this might mean for individual firms and what it might mean for the sector as a whole. The team compares market-developments surrounding BNPL, and the impact this could have for traditional POS financing and payments. 

Led by London Financial Services Counsel, Matthew Gregory and Global Head of FinTech, Sean Murphy, the team provide a unique global perspective on this increasingly significant sector for consumer markets, where it is headed next, and the opportunities and challenges this presents. Matthew and Sean are joined by:

• Etelka Bogardi | Partner and Head of FinTech North Asia | Hong Kong
• James Morris | Partner, Banking and finance | Sydney
• Sebastien Praicheux | Partner, Financial services regulation | Paris
