Regulators have had an interest in ensuring that consumers do not accumulate more debt that they will have difficulty repaying. This means they are likely to focus on issues of trust and transparency.
In the United States, California leads the way in regulating BNPL companies. Other states could follow, analysts say.
Businesses will also need to pay attention to data privacy regulations, with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation setting a framework for the use of data.
The United States does not have a single privacy law, and privacy rights have been granted on a sector-by-sector basis.
