> When 33% of users from BNPL services claim that a reason to do it is that their credit cards are already max, I see this as a potential issue.
I also find it bizarre that 45% say it's easier to make payment than on a credit card and 44% says it's more flexible. Really?! I don't find it hard to give the credit card company money, and it seems like lower interest rates should be #1.
I think "more flexible" means that the payment periods are better aligned with your pay periods. The CC companies are going to want money every month on the same day.
Why is this a relevant factor? With a credit card you have a 3-4 week grace period to pay the bill. If you get paid every 2 weeks/twice a month then the due date is never more than a week away from your last paycheck.
