In this latest episode we speak to Matthew Gregory and Joe Bamford about the Treasury’s consultation paper on the regulation of Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) products.

The consultation, published on Thursday 21 October, follows the Woolard review earlier in the year, which proposed the regulation of BNPL, after a huge increase in the size of the market. In this podcast, Matthew and Joe provide their initial thoughts on the Treasury’s proposals – including which sort of firms might need authorisation and what sort of products are likely to come into scope.
