Push to Add ‘Buy Now, Pay Later' Loans to Credit Scores Hits a Snag

Credit scores are supposed to start incorporating 'buy now, pay later' loans this fall. The plans may already be hitting a speed bump. Klarna, one of the biggest providers of the popular loans, said it wouldn't share data about the bulk of its loans with credit bureaus until it gets assurances that its customers won't be unfairly penalized for using its payment options. BNPL provider Afterpay has also said it plans to withhold data until it has proof its customers won't be harmed.
