UK reveals new Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) rules

BNPL credit products to be regulated by the FCA

In Brief: 

The regulations will clamp down on unregulated BNPL creditors and focus on consumer protection

This will mean consumers are able to take complaints to the Financial Ombudsman Service

These new regulations will affect up to 10m borrowers who are already exposed to unregulated lending products
