BNPL - Buy Now Pay Later

BNPL - Buy Now Pay Later

 This is a method to buy products now and pay them back over a few months with or without interest.  You need to calculate how much you are paying monthly and when payment ends so that you do not overstretch yourself.


BNPL - Klarna

Klarna, in addition to pay-in-four transactions, you can also take advantage of pay-in-30 and six-month financing. Pay-in-30 from Klarna allows you to buy items today, return what you don't want, and pay only for what you keep.

If you make your monthly payments on time and in full with one of Klarna's interest-free payment plans, there is no catch. But similar to using a credit card, it's easy to overcharge. If you fail to make your payments, Klarna may consider the loan defaulted and send the loan to collections.

To open an account with Klarna, there will be a soft inquiry on your credit report. This will not affect your credit score, but it may mean that some potential customers could be declined for poor credit or thin credit history. May report missed payments to credit bureaus.

Klarna does not charge the consumer but the retail stores it works with. There are no interest, fees, or late charges. Payment approval for consumers depends on a soft credit check (without affecting your credit score), your credit history, age, salary, and other factors.


BNPL - Laybuy

Laybuy lets you receive your purchase now and spread the total cost over 6 weekly automatic payments. 
Proceed to checkout as normal and select Laybuy as your payment method.
Log in or sign up and complete your order in seconds.
Choose your payment day, view your schedule and select pay now to complete your order.
Your order is on its way. Payments will be taken each week automatically.

Laybuy offers online shoppers a simple interest free payment plan that lets you secure your purchase today and pay for it in 6 equal payments, once a week for 6 weeks. The remaining 5 payments are processed each week on the day of the original purchase from your nominated card. 

This check is used to assign your credit limit, which according to Which? is between £60 and £600. You can still spend more than your limit, but Laybuy says that changes the way in which you make payments.


BNPL - Zilch

A method to delay paying is called buy now pay later service.  Virtual Zilch cards which can be downloaded to users' phones and tapped at checkout are accepted at thousands of UK retailers including supermarkets.

They allow users to pay just a quarter of an item's purchase price and spread the remaining payments over six weeks.

The market is moving from funding clothes and big-ticket items to buying groceries.

You need to manage your debts and know exactly what you owe at least over the next year.

Protect your wealth?

  2022 was an awful year for investors in most assets, including property. In the US new mortgage applications in Q3 of 2022 were down 47% year-on-year ; in the UK house prices fell by 2.3% month-on-month last November, the biggest drop since 2008. In Sweden home values have drop by 15% from their peak early in 2022 ; German house prices were forecast by Deutsche Bank at the start of December to drop by up to 25% So where could you have turned to, to protect your wealth? Perhaps look to central banks, which accumulated more gold than at any time in the past 55 years. It’s almost as if central banks were laying in stores for an expected coming storm. Some analysts see the bigger central bank gold-buying as delivering a pointed message – they don’t want to be too exposed to the US Dollar. Russia’s central bank had more than $150 billion of US Treasuries in 2012; today it’s around $2 billion, while its gold holdings have risen to more than 1,350 tonnes. And while most other asset clas...

USA DEBT - $31.5 trillion and rising

USA DEBT -   $31.5 trillion and rising What does the government do to manage the debt, inflation, taxation and theft! Wow! $31.5 trillion! That’s the current size of the US federal debt. Putting it another way, it’s more than $94,000 per US citizen. Or, another way, it’s the same as the combined economies of China, Germany, Japan and the UK, according to the US Peterson Foundation. The foundation helpfully adds that if every US household paid $1,000 a month it would take more than 19 years to eliminate the debt. Interest payments on this debt cost more than $1 billion a day. America is running on fumes – the only significant question is how long before the engine stutters and packs up. Certainly, not all debt is bad, either individually or nationally. Taking on debt to buy a home, to get education, to grow a business, can all be sensible decisions and can help grow the national economy. But borrowing to buy assets that lose value over time, such as a car, is not such a great i...
