*See our survey for more unique insights.

Only 2% of merchants achieve approval rates above 80%, a sharp decline from 12%  last year.

Point-of-sale (POS) financing has become a crucial resource for shoppers to purchase the goods they want without relying on credit cards and for retailers to enhance customer satisfaction and drive sales. We conducted our second annual survey to understand how merchants are meeting their customers’ financing needs and the challenges they face. The results shed light on the current state of POS financing, revealing an over 50% increase in merchants reporting below 60% approval rates.

Key Findings

Among the key findings, the survey discovered that an average of 40% of annual gross merchant value (GMV) is attributed to financing. Despite the crucial role of consumer financing in sales revenue, most merchants are struggling with approval rates, which have sharply declined compared to last year. In 2024, only 2% of merchants are achieving approval rates above 80%, a sharp decline from last year’s 12%

Retailers recognize the need to address these declining approval rates with 78% of respondents saying that point-of-sale financing is a strategic priority over the next 12 months.

With consumer finance projected to reach $15 trillion by 2025 (GlobalData, 2021), stringent regulatory frameworks are needed to ensure stability and protect consumers. The rapid expansion of digital financial services, highlighted by the surge of point-of-sale financing, emphasizes the importance of robust regulatory measures. 

As banks expand their lending models and reenter the consumer financing market, their strict regulatory frameworks and compliance expertise provide a significant competitive advantage. Banks have been lending institutions for centuries, offering various loans including mortgages, personal, consumer, and business loans. Over the years, they have developed robust compliance processes and deep regulatory expertise, especially compared to fintech companies such as BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later) providers, many of whom are new to lending.

Regulatory Scrutiny in Consumer Finance

As the consumer finance sector has grown in popularity and scale, it has inevitably drawn the attention of regulatory bodies. Both the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) have issued guidance and reports related to BNPL lending, emphasizing the need for prudent practices and robust consumer protection measures. These regulatory efforts aim to address the increasing demand for consumer protection and financial stability in this rapidly expanding, unregulated sector. 

Banks, with their extensive history of adapting to regulatory changes and ensuring compliance, are well-positioned to navigate these new standards, in contrast to BNPL providers which have been functioning without regulation and are going to have to play catch up. Additionally, BNPLs lack direct access to funds via customer deposits and the Federal Reserve further strengthens the banks’ position.

Beyond Compliance: Deep Understanding and Capacity

Banks’ experience with regulatory compliance goes beyond merely following rules; it encompasses a deep understanding of the rationale behind regulations, such as protecting consumers, ensuring fair practices, and maintaining the financial system’s integrity. They can anticipate regulatory changes in response to external and other contributing factors, for example advances in technology or issues affecting the economy, and proactively adapt their strategies and seamlessly integrate new requirements into their operations. Additionally, banks have dedicated teams and systems to monitor regulatory changes, assess their impact, and implement necessary adjustments. This institutional capacity for regulatory adaptation is crucial in an environment where financial regulations are increasingly complex and far-reaching.

Building Trust Through Compliance

Banks’ adherence to regulatory and compliance standards and stability reinforce trust among consumers and merchants. This trust is crucial in newer financing areas like consumer finance, where customers and merchants are still gauging the credibility and reliability of different financial providers. Banks can leverage their compliance expertise to differentiate themselves and position their financial products as better, safer, and more reliable. By doing so, compliance becomes a key part of the value proposition that banks offer to merchants and their customers. 

Conclusion: Compliance as a Strategic Asset

The established processes for regulatory compliance in consumer financing are more than an operational requirement; with the introduction of regulations, it is becoming a strategic must. Fintechs and innovative financing models in the consumer financing space are under increasing scrutiny, while banks, with their long history and deep expertise in compliance, are uniquely positioned to navigate the complex regulatory landscape and provide a stable and trustworthy option for consumers and merchants alike.

Point-of-sale financing is evolving to play a strategic role for merchants that contributes to improved sales conversion and customer loyalty. The prequalification process presents the perfect opportunity for retailers to convert browsers into buyers. By simplifying the process, retailers establish a foundation for customer loyalty which in turn can lead to long-term business growth.

To leverage the potential of point of sale financing, leading merchants are increasingly opting for a multiple lender platform-first approach. In addition to meeting customer needs, its back office capabilities make it easier for merchants to manage the end to end process while offering lender redundancy, greater control, and financing data and analytics. 

At ChargeAfter, the embedded lending platform for point-of-sale financing, we are dedicated to optimizing performance to help merchants that harness our platform better serve their customers and improve the bottom line. 

The importance of checkout optimization

The ChargeAfter checkout team is dedicated to designing and implementing a user experience that maximizes conversion rates. By refining and optimizing the prequalification process for point-of-sale financing, the team aims to encourage more customers to complete their purchases. “More applications mean more opportunities for customers to make a purchase,” Anna Peters, Director of Product, Consumer Experience explains, highlighting the direct link between the checkout experience and sales performance.

Experimentation: the key to continuous improvement

The primary goal of the team is to increase conversion rates or, at the very least, ensure that any changes do not negatively impact these rates or the customer experience. The approach to experimenting with the checkout process is meticulous and data-driven. “Deciding on an experiment is a very thoughtful process,” explains Anna. The team starts by clearly defining the challenge they aim to solve, formulating hypotheses, and identifying supportive data. Then, they outline the metrics needed to measure impact, plan the design, development, and rollout phases, and finally, conduct the experiment.

These experiments are crucial for making informed decisions, allowing ChargeAfter to move beyond opinions and rely on actual user data. This approach has led to significant improvements, with some experiments yielding a conversion rate increase of 5% to 12%.

Challenges and solutions in experimentation

The path to optimization is not without its challenges. Interpreting results and managing internal expectations can be complex tasks. The team addresses these challenges by maintaining clear communication and setting realistic expectations based on data and previous outcomes.

The impact of experiments

The experiments conducted by ChargeAfter have had a tangible positive impact on both the customer experience and merchant Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). For instance, one experiment tested whether starting the flow without an overview screen of how ChargeAfter’s product works could affect application submissions. The result was a remarkable 12% increase in submissions.

Another set of experiments focused on the impact of improved messaging and visuals regarding the no credit score impact feature on various screens throughout the checkout process. While the overall change in conversion was neutral across all merchants, this was seen as a positive outcome since there was no degradation in conversion rates. Moreover, some individual merchants saw increases, with one furniture merchant experiencing a 4% rise in conversion, indicating a successful adjustment to a new, more effective baseline.

The role of merchant involvement

Merchant involvement is crucial in shaping these experiments. According to Anna, partners are not only supportive but eagerly anticipate the results of these tests. This collaborative approach ensures that experiments are aligned with merchants’ goals and customer needs, leading to mutually beneficial outcomes.

Conclusion: a collaborative path to improvement

These experiments highlight the power of data-driven experimentation in optimizing the checkout experience. By focusing on the user experience and continuously testing and refining their approach, ChargeAfter is helping merchants increase conversion rates and, ultimately, sales. These efforts underscore the importance of embracing innovation and collaboration to meet the ever-changing demands of consumers and the marketplace.

The prevalence of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) schemes has been remarkable in recent years, capturing the attention of more than half of U.S. consumers, according to data from Bankrate.  However, despite the popularity of this type of loan, BNPL is decreasing in popularity and is only one of many point-of-sale financing options. 

In this article we explore BNPL and explain how it is only one element of the broader consumer financing market. 

What is Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL)?

Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) revolutionizes the purchasing process by allowing consumers to defer the full payment for goods and services. Through this innovative payment model, shoppers can instantly finance their acquisitions, repaying the amount in fixed, interest-free installments over a predetermined time frame. For example, a purchase worth $100 could be divided into four installments of $25 each.

This financing solution has seen widespread adoption across various business sectors, especially among e-commerce retailers, for its ability to significantly uplift conversion rates, augment average order values, and broaden customer bases. At the end of 2022, retailers offering BNPL options reported up to a 30% increase in sales volume, according to an article in PYMNTS, attesting to the method’s effectiveness in enhancing sales performance while offering customers the flexibility of staggered payments.

The Rising Popularity of Buy Now, Pay Later

Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services have surged in popularity, with 50 million consumers in the United States adopting this flexible payment option over the past year, according to PYMNTS research. This trend reflects a growing consumer appetite for manageable payment plans and signals a significant opportunity for merchants, as nearly 60% of consumers are aware of BNPL. Implementing BNPL options can increase sale likelihood by 20% to 30% and raise the average transaction size by up to 50%, translating into considerable revenue boosts for retailers. Additionally, a recent survey highlighted that nearly 70% of customers spend more when using BNPL services, further encouraging merchant adoption. This financial model benefits businesses by driving sales, increasing ticket sizes, and promoting financial inclusion among diverse groups, including recent immigrants, by making essential services more accessible. Despite the consistent use of BNPL among U.S. shoppers since 2021, interest in future use has grown, indicating an expanding market. The advantages for merchants are clear: offering BNPL can significantly enhance customer spending behavior and loyalty, underscoring the importance of overcoming any implementation challenges to capitalize on this lucrative trend.

How do Buy-Now-Pay-Later Services Work?

BNPL services facilitate a streamlined shopping experience, enabling loan application at checkout, available for both online and in-store purchases. The approval process from the BNPL platform is swift, leading to an immediate initiation of the repayment plan with an upfront payment at purchase. The ensuing installments are designed to be interest-free, with additional fees applied only in instances of delayed payments.

How Buy-Now-Pay-Later Services Make Money

BNPL platforms derive revenue from two primary sources: merchants and consumers. The merchant fees might include an initial setup cost and a per-transaction charge, whereas consumer fees generally entail penalties for late payments. This dual-income model supports the operational viability of BNPL services, offering interest-free installment plans to shoppers.

What Are The Benefits Of Buy-Now-Pay-Later Services?

BNPL services streamline the checkout process, offering a seamless and personalized payment experience that caters to customer preferences. These benefits extend beyond convenience, as BNPL options also improve conversion rates, and elevate average order values. 

Challenges with Providing Buy-Now-Pay-Later Options

Despite the advantages, BNPL solutions have their limitations, particularly concerning credit inclusivity and the financing of larger purchases. The existing one-size-fits-all approach of many BNPL providers fails to accommodate the diverse financial needs of all consumers, potentially leading to higher default rates and financial strain for those unable to meet repayment obligations. Further, BNPL providers face new regulations and legislations in 2024 which could challenge their existing models. 

Consumer Financing Platforms

Distinguishing themselves from BNPL services, consumer financing platforms offer more flexibility.. These platforms, by connecting with multiple lenders, are able to tailor financial solutions to individual consumer needs more effectively, making them a preferable choice for merchants and their customers. Lenders also benefit from this model which connects them to suitable borrowers at their moment of need, creating a win-win-win situation.  

BNPL vs. Consumer Finance

There are a number of fundamental differences between the Buy Now Pay Later scheme (BNPL) and traditional consumer finance which affect the choice of consumers and investment behavior. The first difference is the simplicity of BNPL because there is no interest on short-term purchases, which means that for those people who would like to make smaller payments without paying extra costs, this can be an ideal option. Consequently, due to these factors, BNPL has become very popular with less expensive items that can be easily repaid over a shorter period of time.

Unlike BNPL services, which usually charge no interest, traditional consumer finance—credit cards and personal loans usually involve interest rates and sometimes additional fees; however, it provides more freedom when choosing an amount of the loan as well as its repayment duration. So, in this case, it is more preferable for major purchases or consolidation of debt over the longer time horizon. The credit check required by the banks before granting such type of credit is a barrier for some consumers who have had earlier problems with repayment but also a benefit ensuring that they will not be burdened with further financial obligations beyond their means.

When deciding between BNPL and consumer finance, consumers’ financial health as well as their liquidity are of much concern. The zero-interest installment options provided by BNPL might be pocket-friendly when one needs to make an urgent purchase, but the possibility of higher credit limits and a longer repayment period on consumer finance acts as a safety net for bigger financial requirements or unforeseen contingencies. In order to choose between BNPL and traditional consumer finance, consumers must consider their financial standing along with fiscal stability in the long term, weigh immediacy versus flexibility, and assess growth possibilities in terms of larger credit lines.

Selecting the ideal BNPL provider necessitates an assessment of factors such as repayment terms, credit limits, and customer demographics. Providers differ in their offerings, for example:

• Affirm: provides installment plans ranging from short-term options to loans extendable up to 36 months, with varying APRs based on the purchase and customer creditworthiness.
• Afterpay: (Clearpay in the UK and EU) offers four interest-free payments, catering to users in multiple regions with its expansive user base.
• Klarna: introduces flexibility with payment plans that spread the cost over several months or allow for deferred payments, in addition to offering financing options for longer periods.

An embedded lending platform, such as ChargeAfter’s, ensuring a broad range of consumer finance options beyond BNPL, including revolving credit, short and long-term loans, private label credit cards, lease-to-own, and B2b options, catering to diverse consumer needs and enhancing approval rates.

Selecting the Right POS Financing  Solution

In choosing a POS financing solution , merchants should consider factors such as repayment terms, credit limits, and geographical reach to ensure alignment with their product offerings and customer demographics. Platforms like ChargeAfter simplify this selection process by providing access to a multi-lender network that offer competitive terms, enabling merchants to seamlessly add or remove lenders from their points of sale, and deliver a multi-lender waterfall financing experience that boosts approval rates to up to 85%. 

Integration and Support Across Platforms

The platform also provides robust post-sale management tools, facilitating efficient transaction oversight and customer service and actionable insights to optimize the lending offer and convert more sales.

In consumer finance, the methods we use to pay for goods and services are significantly transforming. Innovative financing solutions challenge traditional payment methods like cash and credit cards, reshaping consumer spending habits and preferences. This shift not only influences how consumers choose to pay for goods and services but also offers new opportunities for merchants to enhance their sales strategies. Let’s explore the evolving trends in cash, credit card use, and the burgeoning field of point-of-sale (POS) financing.

Cash: The Decline of Transactions

The journey towards a cashless society has accelerated, driven by the advent of mobile and digital wallets. Despite the United States trailing behind countries like the United Kingdom, Norway, China, and Canada regarding digital payment adoption, a notable decline in cash usage is evident. Federal Reserve data highlights that cash accounts for only 20% of transactions in the U.S., predominantly for small purchases with an average value of $22. The trend away from cash is becoming more pronounced. Pew Research Center noted a significant increase in Americans who report not using cash for purchases in a typical week, jumping from 24% in 2015 to 41% in 2023.

Credit Cards: A Waning Popularity

Credit cards, once the cornerstone of unsecured borrowing in the U.S., are witnessing a dip in popularity, especially among younger generations. GlobalData’s 2023 research revealed decreased credit card ownership among Americans under 35. This shift is partly attributed to the stringent borrowing conditions, exemplified by a 20% loan rejection rate reported by the Federal Reserve in July 2023, following multiple interest rate hikes. The search for alternatives is driven by the high average credit card APR, which stands at nearly 25%, pushing consumers to seek more favorable financing options.

POS Financing: The Emergence

The development of POS financing technology has introduced many financing products into the market, revolutionizing consumer financing at checkout. This sector, predominantly spearheaded by fintech innovations, offers a range of loans, including 0% APR, diverse installment plans, and B2B financing solutions. ChargeAfter’s data underscores a significant uptick in consumer spending through financing, with a 53% increase in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the previous year. The allure of POS financing lies in its ability to provide immediate, flexible financing options, often with more favorable terms than traditional credit cards.

Consumer Financing: the Future Landscape

Consumer financing is veering towards POS solutions as younger consumers move away from credit cards. The evolving financial technology landscape heralds a future where consumer financing is increasingly integrated into the shopping experience, offering seamless and versatile financial solutions.

While cash offers simplicity and debt-free transactions, it is overshadowed by the convenience and benefits of digital payments. Despite their flexibility, credit cards are becoming less favorable due to the potential for high-interest debt. In contrast, POS financing platforms that support a multitude of lenders and integrate seamlessly into omnichannel retail environments are rapidly gaining traction among merchants eager to offer their customers a breadth of financing options.

In conclusion, the dynamics of consumer payments are shifting dramatically, with POS financing emerging as a critical player in the retail sector. As technology continues to evolve, the potential for innovative consumer financing solutions promises to reshape the financial landscape, offering consumers more control over their spending while providing merchants with powerful tools to boost sales and customer satisfaction.

As shoppers increasingly lean towards flexible point-of-sale financing to pay for purchases and services, and merchants and other sellers seek the best way to meet this demand, the banking sector recognizes that it needs to expand its existing lending models and diversify POS financing offerings. This shift highlights that embedded lending is not just an emerging opportunity but a strategic necessity for banks to maintain their competitive edge.

The rise of embedded lending in point-of-sale finance 

Consumer financing at the point of need is becoming an integral part of the customer journey, impacting the customer experience, business growth, and sales revenue. Continued economic challenges, such as the cost-of-living increase, alongside the emergence of on-demand loans at the point of sale to meet this need  are changing how people pay for goods and services. In 2021, nearly 5% of U.S. financial transactions, totaling $2.6 trillion, were integrated into e-commerce and other software platforms, and this is set to reach over $7 trillion by 2026, according to Bain & Company. 

Fintech companies have led the way in the point-of-sale (POS) financing revolution, especially with the emergence of Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) loans. McKinsey & Company estimates that banks have experienced annual losses of $8 to $10 billion to fintech players, representing not only a financial setback but also a loss of a vital customer base – younger, tech-savvy consumers. 

For banks, point-of-sale financing represents both a challenge and an opportunity. While this market has been dominated by fintechs, traditional banks and financial institutions are beginning to enter this market, and they do so with significant advantages. 

Strategic advantage for banks in POS financing

Banks and traditional lending financial institutions enjoy advantages over newer fintech companies when it comes to point-of-sale financing. These advantages stem from their established infrastructure and years of experience as lenders, positioning them to become the leading provider of POS financing services for merchants and their customers. These four advantages distinguish banks from the newer fintech companies that have more recently entered the market. 

1. Established customer base and trust

Merchants seek reliable point-of-sale finance partners. Banks are known not only for their stability and balance sheets, but also their competitive rates, and secure data handling, making them ideal partners vs. a fintech that is reliant on external investors to float loans. It’s not only merchants that seek a trusted partner, but consumer trust in banks is stronger than ever, with many customers preferring bank loans over fintech options due to their established reputation and reliability. Pattamatta & Dabadghao (2022), highlight the significance of this trust, particularly for newer consumer financing options like point-of-sale financing where customers often gravitate towards the familiarity and dependability of big established banks. This is not just a matter of comfort; it reflects a deeper understanding that banks offer a level of security and regulatory compliance that newer fintech companies may not have achieved yet.

2. Regulatory compliance and expertise

The role of strict regulatory frameworks in shaping the banking sector cannot be overstated. Over the years, banks have not only adapted to these regulations but have also developed robust processes for compliance, and the banks are the leaders in regulatory and compliance regulations to protect their customers. This deep-rooted regulatory expertise provides banks with a critical edge, particularly in a financial landscape where new regulations, especially concerning fintech and innovative financing models like BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later), are rapidly evolving and are still unclear. Banks on the other hand are highly regulated and their core business is lending under strict regulatory guidance. Banks are better prepared for mass consumer finance growth.

The point-of-sale finance sector, which has grown significantly in popularity and scale, has inevitably drawn the attention of regulatory bodies, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The CFPB’s move towards establishing industry-wide regulations is a response to the growing need for consumer protection in this sector. Banks, with their long history of adapting to regulatory changes and ensuring compliance, are uniquely positioned to navigate these new standards and in large are already compliant as lenders unlike fintech BNPL providers whose expertise in regulatory compliance is a significant advantage over their fintech counterparts, many of which are still in the early stages of grappling with complex financial regulations.

3. Risk management and credit expertise

Banks’ proficiency in risk management and credit assessment plays a pivotal role in their ability to effectively navigate the point-of-sale finance landscape. Their established frameworks for risk management are the result of years of experience and refinement and enable them to adeptly handle the unique credit risks associated with these financing models. Jakšič & Marinč (2018) underscore the importance of this expertise, noting that unlike many fintech companies that are relatively new to the scene, banks have a long history of assessing and managing credit risk. This expertise is not limited to evaluating the creditworthiness of borrowers; it extends to developing sophisticated models that can predict repayment behaviors, detect fraud, and anticipate market changes that could impact the risk profile of their lending portfolios.

4. Stronger financial backing

The recent economic climate, characterized by inflation and rising interest rates, presents a challenging landscape for lenders. In this environment, some POS finance providers, often limited by their financial resources, have found it increasingly difficult to sustain operations. They face the dual challenge of adapting to market pressures while also trying to maintain competitive rates and services. In some cases, these challenges have led to the adoption of complex and costly measures to stay afloat, impacting both their stability and the quality of services offered to customers.

Banks, in contrast, have a more robust foundation to draw upon. Their financial backing typically encompasses a diverse range of assets and substantial capital reserves. This allows them to absorb market shocks and economic downturns more effectively than their fintech counterparts. In practical terms, this stability means that banks can continue to offer competitive rates and reliable financial products even in times of economic stress.

Banks as pioneers in point-of-sale financing

In 2024, banks have a golden opportunity to emerge as leaders in the POS financing marketplace. By leveraging their established trust, regulatory expertise, risk management and credit expertise, and strong financial backing, they are well-positioned to offer innovative and reliable financing solutions to merchants and their customers. 

Understanding and adapting to market changes allows banks not only to reclaim lost ground from fintechs but also to forge new paths in consumer financing. It is evident that embedded lending at the point of sale is not a fleeting trend – it’s a key aspect of the future of banking. With a comprehensive approach and strategic advantages, banks are poised to redefine the point-of-sale financing landscape, offering enhanced services that meet the evolving needs of consumers and merchants alike.
