We’re kicking off the new year with a deep dive into “Buy Now, Pay Later—Five Years On.” Whether your business already offers BNPL or you’re considering implementing it, this session is a must-attend.

In this Townhall, we’ll chart BNPL’s journey—from its pandemic-driven surge and soaring valuations to its perceived decline. What’s the real state of BNPL in retail? How are top retailers leveraging it as a powerful payment tool to attract and retain customers?

Key topics we’ll cover include:

  • BNPL’s growth and evolution over the past five years
  • The role of financial institutions, networks, and card-backed digital wallets in the installments space
  • Strategies for merchants to optimize BNPL in today’s rapidly changing landscape

Special Highlight: Our Chief Economist revisits 2020 predictions to see how they stack up five years later.
