Fintech in focus: Buy now, pay later

Driven by accelerated digitalisation, evolving consumer demand and merchant adoption since the onset of COVID-19, the buy now, pay later sector is growing rapidly with emerging business models, new payments providers and increased interests from investors as well as incumbents.

In this podcast, Matt O’Callaghan (Head of Financial Services Asia), Janina Heinz (Counsel) and Eugene McQuaid (Senior Consultant, EU Regulatory and Public Affairs) provide an update on the market landscape and how different regulators around the globe are approaching this topic. We explore how the regulatory trends will shape the market in 2022 and beyond, and what new entrants and investors interested in this space need to be mindful of.
