Every fourth customer has used BNPL services in the last six months
More than a quarter of respondents have used BNPL services in the past six months, according to new research from Mastercard’s World Payments Advisory™ across more than 50 countries.

The “fear of hidden costs” proved to be the factor most hindering the spread of BNPL services.
