Are Buy Now, Pay Later loans too good to be true? That’s because they are.

Buy Now Pay Later loans are one the hottest new trends in the world of financial technology, touted as a less risky alternative to credit cards. Using one of several major apps, you're only asked for a fraction of the price at the point of sale, and the rest is paid off in a few biweekly installments. Sounds too good to be true - that's because it is!
