Recently, Latitude, Australia-based digital payments, and lending firm, revealed its intention to buy Humm’s consumer business, consisting of BNPL, instalments, and cards, for $241.8m.
In December 2021, the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau launched an investigation into BNPL credit and ordered five major BNPL firms to submit data on the risks and benefits of their services.
The same month, a report by Reuters said that Australia is weighing new regulations to control cryptocurrency exchanges, digital wallets and BNPL firms in the country.
