Unlike with traditional layaway, consumers receive instant access to their purchase as they pay it off.</p>\n<p>Furniture companies have long let people pay for big-ticket items in installments while taking the product home right away, but now the concept has made its way online, spreading across industries and into smaller purchase amounts, JMP Securities analyst David Scharf noted. Those looking to build fancy home gyms during the pandemic could split the cost of an $1,800-plus Peloton Interactive Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PTON\">$(PTON)$</a> bike into 39 interest-free monthly payments of $49 using financing from Affirm Holdings Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AFRM\">$(AFRM)$</a> A host of other players have been rushing to stake their claims elsewhere in the U.S. retail market.</p>\n<p>The services are seeing surging adoption, driven by growing merchant acceptance, booming e-commerce sales, and what many providers say is a skepticism among younger shoppers about traditional credit offerings. Though BNPL services accounted for just 2% of U.S. e-commerce payments last year according to FIS Global, they're rapidly gaining in popularity. The value of purchases made using BNPL offerings rose 132% in the first quarter, per data from Cardify.ai.</p>\n<p>BNPL services are more prevalent overseas, accounting for more than 7% of European e-commerce transactions in 2020 and 10% of Australian ones, according to FIS Global. In Sweden, home to BNPL provider Klarna, installments accounted for 23% of e-commerce transactions last year.</p>\n<p>The installment wave has drawn the interest of established giants like <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a> Inc. (V) and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a> Holdings Inc. (PYPL), as well as a host of newer fintech players that have carved out different paths as they seek to stake their claims in the nascent U.S. market.</p>\n<p>The trend is of growing relevance to investors. U.S. startup Affirm recently went public, while Australia's Afterpay Ltd. , which trades in its home country, is contemplating a U.S. listing given the growing importance of the U.S. market to its business. Sweden's Klarna is considering an IPO in the U.K ., according to Bloomberg, though its chief executive has expressed some concerns about potential regulations.</p>\n<p>In the credit-card model, merchants pay transaction fees when they accept card payments and consumers pay accrued interest if they carry a balance. BNPL services, which can sometimes be interest-free to the consumer, charge a steeper fee to merchants, who've been increasingly willing to pay up for the services so that consumers will be more inclined to go through with an online purchase.</p>\n<p>BNPL sits amid a number of attractive industry trends, according to Jefferies analyst John Hecht, who sees a $600 billion total transaction opportunity for the industry in the U.S., based on the value of e-commerce purchases made outside of Amazon.com Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">$(AMZN)$</a> He expects that the services could take a bite out of what he views as an $840 billion dollar total addressable market for fintech-enabled credit products.</p>\n<p>While BNPL offerings are structured differently than traditional credit, they aren't without risk. The various BNPL companies have different policies about missed payments, but some will charge late fees or report to the credit bureaus about failures to make good on payment commitments. The industry is largely unregulated and there are concerns that consumers could end up taking on more installment commitments than they can afford to pay back in the allotted timeframes, especially in a credit crunch.</p>\n<p>The companies have different approaches to the U.S. as they try to build or expand their BNPL businesses. MarketWatch spoke to executives at some of the leading offerings to find out their strategies for the market.</p>\n<p><b>Affirm</b></p>\n<p>While Peloton is Affirm's largest customer, the BNPL company has been expanding its merchant mix, which doubled from a year earlier in the latest quarter to reach almost 12,000 retailers.</p>\n<p>One move to diversify the company's merchant base is a recent arrangement with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SHOP\">Shopify Inc</a>. (SHOP.T) that makes it easy for the e-commerce company's merchants to enable Affirm's installment offerings. In exchange, Shopify got equity interest in Affirm.</p>\n<p>\"Because of the nature of the relationship, they have every incentive in the world to make sure it's successful,\" Chief Financial Officer Michael Linford said. He expects that the deal \"will add substantially more value to us than we had to give up\" since Shopify's vast merchant base is \"really difficult if not impossible to build.\"</p>\n<p>Affirm offers a mix of simple-interest and interest-free installment options, and Linford said that the company is particularly differentiated in its work with high-value purchases as its tech and risk-management capabilities enable it to \"create a lot of value for merchants.\" Affirm's underwriting determines which customers would be capable of making their installment payments on big-ticket items.</p>\n<p>At the same time, Affirm sees value in helping to facilitate ordinary spending as well, and it recently announced a debit card that will let people buy things and split them after the fact using their cards.</p>\n<p>The company doesn't charge late fees for customers who miss payments, according to Linford.

Unlike with traditional layaway, consumers receive instant access to their purchase as they pay it off.\nFurniture companies have long let people pay for big-ticket items in installments while taking the product home right away, but now the concept has made its way online, spreading across industries and into smaller purchase amounts, JMP Securities analyst David Scharf noted. Those looking to build fancy home gyms during the pandemic could split the cost of an $1,800-plus Peloton Interactive Inc. $(PTON)$ bike into 39 interest-free monthly payments of $49 using financing from Affirm Holdings Inc. $(AFRM)$ A host of other players have been rushing to stake their claims elsewhere in the U.S. retail market.\nThe services are seeing surging adoption, driven by growing merchant acceptance, booming e-commerce sales, and what many providers say is a skepticism among younger shoppers about traditional credit offerings. Though BNPL services accounted for just 2% of U.S. e-commerce payments last year according to FIS Global, they're rapidly gaining in popularity. The value of purchases made using BNPL offerings rose 132% in the first quarter, per data from Cardify.ai.\nBNPL services are more prevalent overseas, accounting for more than 7% of European e-commerce transactions in 2020 and 10% of Australian ones, according to FIS Global. In Sweden, home to BNPL provider Klarna, installments accounted for 23% of e-commerce transactions last year.\nThe installment wave has drawn the interest of established giants like Visa Inc. (V) and PayPal Holdings Inc. (PYPL), as well as a host of newer fintech players that have carved out different paths as they seek to stake their claims in the nascent U.S. market.\nThe trend is of growing relevance to investors. U.S. startup Affirm recently went public, while Australia's Afterpay Ltd. , which trades in its home country, is contemplating a U.S. listing given the growing importance of the U.S. market to its business. Sweden's Klarna is considering an IPO in the U.K ., according to Bloomberg, though its chief executive has expressed some concerns about potential regulations.\nIn the credit-card model, merchants pay transaction fees when they accept card payments and consumers pay accrued interest if they carry a balance. BNPL services, which can sometimes be interest-free to the consumer, charge a steeper fee to merchants, who've been increasingly willing to pay up for the services so that consumers will be more inclined to go through with an online purchase.\nBNPL sits amid a number of attractive industry trends, according to Jefferies analyst John Hecht, who sees a $600 billion total transaction opportunity for the industry in the U.S., based on the value of e-commerce purchases made outside of Amazon.com Inc. $(AMZN)$ He expects that the services could take a bite out of what he views as an $840 billion dollar total addressable market for fintech-enabled credit products.\nWhile BNPL offerings are structured differently than traditional credit, they aren't without risk. The various BNPL companies have different policies about missed payments, but some will charge late fees or report to the credit bureaus about failures to make good on payment commitments. The industry is largely unregulated and there are concerns that consumers could end up taking on more installment commitments than they can afford to pay back in the allotted timeframes, especially in a credit crunch.\nThe companies have different approaches to the U.S. as they try to build or expand their BNPL businesses. MarketWatch spoke to executives at some of the leading offerings to find out their strategies for the market.\nAffirm\nWhile Peloton is Affirm's largest customer, the BNPL company has been expanding its merchant mix, which doubled from a year earlier in the latest quarter to reach almost 12,000 retailers.\nOne move to diversify the company's merchant base is a recent arrangement with Shopify Inc. (SHOP.T) that makes it easy for the e-commerce company's merchants to enable Affirm's installment offerings. In exchange, Shopify got equity interest in Affirm.\n\"Because of the nature of the relationship, they have every incentive in the world to make sure it's successful,\" Chief Financial Officer Michael Linford said. He expects that the deal \"will add substantially more value to us than we had to give up\" since Shopify's vast merchant base is \"really difficult if not impossible to build.\"\nAffirm offers a mix of simple-interest and interest-free installment options, and Linford said that the company is particularly differentiated in its work with high-value purchases as its tech and risk-management capabilities enable it to \"create a lot of value for merchants.\" Affirm's underwriting determines which customers would be capable of making their installment payments on big-ticket items.\nAt the same time, Affirm sees value in helping to facilitate ordinary spending as well, and it recently announced a debit card that will let people buy things and split them after the fact using their cards.\nThe company doesn't charge late fees for customers who miss payments, according to Linford. For customers who ultimately fail to make good on smaller-value payments, the company may lock down access to the Affirm network going forward. Those who don't pay up for bigger-ticket items could be reported to a credit bureau.\nAbout 30% of Affirm transactions originate from within the company's \"properties\"--mainly its mobile app--rather than from merchants' own sites. The app is \"really, really powerful for re-engagement\" of users, Linford said, and merchants can pay to show new products or offers on the platform.\nAs e-commerce booms, there's a \"quite aggressive fight to get any sort of mindshare,\" Linford said, and he argued that the platform holds appeal with brands looking to reach younger-generation consumers who have \"high intent and capacity to purchase.\"\nBecause the company enables shopping from within its app, its customers can split purchases even from merchants that don't list Affirm as payment options on their own websites. There's no Affirm button on Amazon's traditional website, for instance, but the e-commerce giant is one of the largest merchants within the Affirm app, Linford said. Affirm uses virtual cards to split customers' Amazon purchases on the back end.\nAfterpay\nAfter helping to kick off the BNPL trend in Australia, Afterpay came to the U.S. market less than three years ago with a focus on interest-free offerings.\nAfterpay is \"not trying to upsell someone credit,\" Co-Chief Executive Nick Molnar told MarketWatch, and the company has been \"purposefully focused on the couple-hundred-dollar purchase\" thus far.\nThe company charges a late fee after an initial grace period for consumers who fall behind on payments, and it cuts customers off from making future purchases until they pay back what they owe.\n\"Unlike a finance company that wants you to be late...with Afterpay you can't keep shopping\" after missing a payment, Molnar said. That dynamic fosters a better relationship with customers, in his view.\nAfterpay's North America merchant base grew more than 150% in the latest quarter relative to a year earlier. In the U.S., underlying sales, or the value of items purchased through its service, increased 211%.\nThe company now works with 23,000 retail brands in the U.S. including Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. $(BBBY)$ and Lululemon Athletica Inc. $(LULU)$. A recent partnership with Stripe made it easy for that company's merchants to easily activate Afterpay as a checkout option.\nThe company may process 10% to 30% of transactions for its retail partners once enabled as a payment option, Molnar said.\nAfterpay is building a presence beyond the checkout button, with 17% of purchases globally during the month of February originating from Shop Directory, meaning that these customers are locating merchants through Afterpay's app or site.\nWhile Afterpay is relatively new in the U.S., its success in Australia \"puts into perspective where Afterpay can expand as a business,\" Molnar said.
