One of the most significant global issues concerning consumer credit is BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later) services, which enable consumers without sufficient funds to make an immediate purchase, locally known as “thin filers”, to obtain goods and pay at a later date. Globally, many thin filers prefer using BNPL over credit cards. However, South Korea exhibits a different trend compared to the rest of the world.
