BNPL Backlash: As Rules Shift, Who’s Protecting Your Revenue?

DONNA DELAROSABlog

The Buy Now, Pay Later boom has redefined how consumers shop—but now it’s facing serious scrutiny. With regulatory pushback from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), BNPL companies are under pressure to provide clearer disclosures, stronger repayment terms, and better protection for buyers.

That’s a win for consumers—but for businesses offering BNPL options? It opens the door to delayed payments, defaults, and uncertainty.

At Caine & Weiner, we’ve seen this movie before.

When industries innovate quickly (as BNPL has), collections and receivables often get overlooked—until it’s too late. As regulation catches up with technology, companies must ensure they have a rock-solid plan to recover what they’re owed.

Why Receivables Matter Now More Than Ever
The convenience of BNPL is a double-edged sword. While it boosts sales upfront, it also increases the risk of non-payment, especially when economic conditions tighten or consumer protections become more complex.

And let’s face it—today’s consumers are more cautious, more vocal, and more protected than ever. That’s why your collections partner can’t just recover funds—they have to do it with care, clarity, and compliance.

That’s where we come in.
At Caine & Weiner, we help businesses in the consumer sector protect their receivables while respecting their brand and customer relationships. Our team understands the regulatory landscape and works within it—not around it.

Let us help you stay ahead, stay compliant, and most importantly—stay paid.

Because when the rules change, your strategy should too.
