Buy Now, Pay Later in Africa: How Bank Statement Analysis Reduces BNPL Default Risk
BNPL providers in Africa face significant default risk due to the limitations of traditional credit checks, which fail to capture consumers' real financial behaviour.

This enables BNPL operators to make faster, more accurate credit decisions, approving qualified applicants confidently while reducing portfolio default risk.
