What is buy now pay later?
BNPL is a payment service that allows consumers to purchase goods and services upfront and pay for them later in installments.

It is a way to spread the cost of your purchases over a more extended period without paying interest or fees upfront.

Many popular retailers, both online and offline, offer BNPL as a payment option at the checkout.

Buy now pay later process
The BNPL process is quite simple. First, you select the BNPL options at checkout and enter your details to set up an account with the provider.

Then, you can choose a repayment plan that works best for you, which will determine how many installments you’ll need to pay and over what period.

After you complete your purchase, you’ll receive your goods or services immediately, and the payments will be automatically deducted from your account at the agreed-upon intervals.

BNPL vs credit card
BNPL and credit cards are ways to finance purchases, but they have some key differences.

With a credit card, you borrow money from a bank and pay interest on that amount until it is paid off.

On the other hand, with BNPL, you are usually not charged any interest or fees as long as you make your payments on time.

Additionally, BNPL tends to have more flexible repayment options than credit cards, with some providers allowing you to pay off your balance in as little as four weeks.

Pros and cons
Like any payment option, BNPL has its pros and cons. On the one hand, it can be a convenient way to spread the cost of purchases over time without paying interest or fees upfront. On the other hand, it can also be helpful if you are on a tight budget and must make purchases but need to pay the total amount upfront.

On the other hand, BNPL can encourage overspending, as it can be easy to forget about future payments and end up with a large debt than anticipated. Additionally, late payments or missed payments can negatively impact your credit score.

IFRS 16 Summary [Video]

Here's a summary of IFRS 16 for both lessees and lessors. Lessees must capitalize all leases except for short-term leases (12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets (asset has a fair value of $5,000 or less at the beginning of the lease). Capitalization means the lessee must record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on its statement of financial position at the commencement of the lease. The lessee then records depreciation expense (for the right-of-use asset) and interest expense (for the lease liability) throughout the lease term. Lessors must first classify their lease as a finance lease or an operating lease, as this has a significant effect on the lessor's accounting. If the lease is a finance lease, the lessor must derecognize the asset from its statement of financial position and record a lease receivable upon commencement of the lease. (If the lessor is a manufacturer or a dealer, the lessor must also record sales revenue and cost of goods sold upon commencement of the lease.) The lessor then records interest revenue (for the lease receivable) throughout the lease term.If the lessor has classified the lease as an operating lease, then the lessor should not remove the asset from its statement of financial position or record a lease receivable upon commencement of the lease. (Also, the lessor should not recognize sales revenue or cost of goods sold, even if it is a manufacturer or a dealer.) When it comes to the income statement, the lessor records depreciation expense (because the asset is still on the lessor's books) and records lease revenue on a straight-line basis throughout the lease term.— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
