⏰HM Treasury’s consultation on BNPL regulation closes on 29 November 2024. Following this, it is expected that the FCA will consult on its rules and proposed approach to authorising BNPL firms. Among the headline points, a new regulated activity will be introduced, and a temporary permissions regime will be put in place for BNPL firms so they can operate until their application for authorisation has been processed by the FCA.
Liam Croucher and Charlotte Wilson have written a piece on the upcoming regulation of buy now, pay later (BNPL) services. The HM Treasury consultation proposes a new regulated credit agreement category to enhance consumer protection and address the risks associated with BNPL agreements. The article outlines the consultation's key proposals, including stricter rules for financial promotions and credit broking activities. The consultation closes on 29 November 2024, with the FCA set to regulate the sector following the legislation. For an in-depth look at the potential impact of BNPL regulation, read the piece. https://lnkd.in/es3dEQ4W

Regulating predatory markets is something governments do all the time. Yet this Government has chosen to exclude Buy Now Pay Later providers from the rules that apply to all other lending, which allows them to set their own credit and default fees. The Hon David Seymour convinced the Cabinet of mostly National Party MPs to go against the position of their own Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, who is ultimately responsible, and adopt what officials call the worst option in terms of consumer protection. That’s despite the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs taking a different preferred option to Cabinet that would have protected consumers. National have yet again allowed ACT to drag them by the nose. Read my full column here: https://ow.ly/KUmW50TyvZn
