CFPB notes that many US BNPL products charge late fees despite no interest. A local provider’s terms may differ.

BNPL: buy now, commit to later payments
Buy Now, Pay Later splits a purchase into instalments. Interest-free borrowing is still a repayment commitment.
Purchases add up
FinFly illustration: three purchases each requiring AZN 80 on the same date need AZN 240 in total.
Before accepting
Keep the schedule and check fees and automatic debits. Ask what happens to repayments after returning goods; do not assume cancellation is automatic.
