New knowledge from SME customers shows that 3. 7% of Black Friday’s online shoppers have used the flexible credits now purchased, then pay (BNPL) to pay for their acquisitions. clothing, followed by sporting goods, furniture, toys, electronics and health/personal care items, where BNPL used about a third of the time.
On the other hand, the survey showed that BNPL used less than 10% of the time to buy cars, equipment and auto parts.
With regard to age, the survey showed that BNPL purchases were sesic in favor of young or middle-aged buyers between the ages of 25 and 55, and that younger and older generations avoided the use of pay-per-month plans. Specifically, 42% of Generation X buyers (40 to 55 years old) and 40% of Millennials (25 to 40 years old) used BNPL, compared to only 15% of Baby Boomers (55 years of age or older). 3% of Generation Z (under 25 years) who purchase in this way.
Using a three-tier revenue source formula of less than $50,000, $50,000 to $100,000 and more than $100,000, twice as many BNPL buyers were in the top and bottom (51%) tranches, compared to about 25% in between and Decrease levels.
In terms of disposable income, only 17% of consumers who did not live from check to check and could cover their monthly expenses with existing earnings were, unsurprisingly, the ones who were less likely to borrow to make a purchase. At the same time, 32% of buyers who reported that they struggled to pay their monthly expenses used the BNPL, while some of the consumers who said they could pay their expenses while living with the payout check on the payout check chose to use the BNPL and distribute the payments over time, ranging from 6 to 36 months.
The study also showed that the use of LSP decreased as the customer’s schooling point increased, a trend that is consistent with perhaps reflecting a developing awareness of the forward-looking cost, the threat of credit scores, and the temptation to make costly discretionary purchases that are impulsive. , the survey showed that 40 percent of major school buyers had signed up for BNPL offers, compared to only 24 percent of customers with a graduate degree.
Since the survey showed that 7 out of 10 BNPL acquisitions were used to acquire clothing, the demographic distribution of these acquisitions is also revealing. According to research, the highest likely maximum of BNPL customers on Black Friday between 40 and 55 years. Old town dweller, a college graduate, who works with expenses but still lives on pay.
On the other hand, the survey showed that when he came to buy clothes with a BNPL program, a senior college graduate (55 years of age or older) from a small or rural town in the city who had at least some additional cash in the bank. had a 0 chance of taking on a BNPL debt to buy expensive equipment or shoes.
The BNPL area is one of the good fortune stories of 2020. After launching her first “buy now, pay later” product in 2014, Japan’s FinTech Paidy continued with Paidy 3-Pay. It is an interest-free payment mechanism that allows consumers to split the charge of an acquisition into 3 equivalent invoices in the commercial application. The service evolved in reaction to Paidy’s consumer feedback and will also appear on e-commerce sites when shopping with Paidy.
