If you shop online, you’ve seen a “Buy Now, Pay Later” offer everywhere from Amazon to Walmart. The idea is simple: Buy a big-ticket item and split the payments up over time. Even retail stores are getting into the act. #BNPL is interest-free, and it can be a good way to get something you really need in hand quickly.
