Installment payment services are gaining momentum among consumers of all ages, but research shows that younger consum- ers are still the primary driving force behind this expansion. A new study predicted that 45.1 million United States consumers were expected to tap BNPL plans this year, rep- resenting a year-over-year rise of 81 percent. Millennials account for 43 percent of all in- stallment payment plan users and Gen Z consumers represent 30 percent. A growing share of retailers and brands are also coming to understand the draw of in- stallment payment plans, leading some to partner with solution providers to roll out in-store and digital options.

What’s Inside Dapper Boi on offering flexible clothing options, BNPL plans to meet consumers’ needs Finding the perfect clothing fit can be a struggle for consumers with gender-neutral fashion preferences, especially those who need sizes or fits that can be unavailable in specific styles. Offering inclusive options for all body types is key to meeting consum- ers’ needs, according to Charisse Pasche, co-founder of gender-neutral clothing label Dapper Boi. In this month’s Feature Story (p. 8), Pasche explains how providing flexible sizing and style options — and supporting BNPL plans that can break purchases into more manageable installments — can help consumers find clothes that fit themselves and payment methods that fit their budgets. Deep Dive: How digital marketplaces, big- ticket purchases are leading BNPL’s retail charge The past 18 months pushed consumers out of their digital comfort zones. Many sought out new ways to pay that allowed them to shop remotely while delivering much-needed financial flexibility during a period of ex- treme uncertainty. BNPL services have come to the fore over the past several years, and consumers taking to digital marketplaces or making big-ticket purchases seem particu- larly fond of them. More and more shoppers are coming to expect these payment op- tions as they make their ways back into storefronts. This month’s Deep Dive (p. 16) examines the retail shifts driving consumers’ usage of BNPL plans and details what mer- chants must do to meet their needs. © 2021 PYMNTS.com All Rights Reserved 5

Feature Story less disposable income due to economic uncertainties. Pasche believes that many of BNPL’s benefits will keep Dapper Boi’s customers engaged in the long run even as the pandemic wanes. The payment option takes at least some of the budgeting guesswork out of shopping, she said. “The BNPL approach expands our reach, and, more importantly, allows our customers to purchase more products, like a snappy hen- ley [or] polo shirt to complement their new Dapper Boi jeans,” she explained. “We ex- pect usage of a BNPL option to grow along with the growth of our product offerings.” BNPL is poised to continue rising in popu- larity even as the pandemic becomes less threatening in certain markets.

News & Trends New BNPL offering geared toward Americans purchasing airline tickets American consumers are beginning to re- turn to some of the leisure activities they put on hold during the pandemic as vacci- nations continue and restrictions steadily ease across much of the United States. A fair share are looking to travel after spend- ing the past 16 months cooped up at home, and some financial services providers are rolling out BNPL solutions geared toward travelers. American Express is allowing U.S. cardholders who purchase flights costing more than $100 to split them up into sever- al installments, for example. The company said its latest move comes after it found that more than one-third of Americans are keeping an eye out for flexible payment op- tions — including BNPL solutions — to pay for their trips. More travelers from Asia-Pacific tapping BNPL solutions to pay for trips Installment payment plans are also picking up steam in one of the world’s largest un- tapped consumer finance markets: the Asia-Pacific region. Recent data shows that 21 percent of travelers from the region used BNPL payment options to pay for their trips last year, with those from China making up 44 percent of that total. Southeast Asia in particular represents a huge potential mar- ket for installment payment plans. Roughly 438 million potential consumers in the re- gion do not have access to traditional credit, even though 40 million new consumers began shopping or banking online just last year. This means that there are numerous opportunities for BNPL providers to enter a burgeoning market with solutions that allow customers to avoid the frictions that typi- cally come with credit access. © 2021 PYMNTS.com All Rights Reserved 15
