SFA forms buy now, pay later working group to develop framework

The working group is calling out to organisations offering BNPL services to join their ranks.

The Singapore FinTech Association (SFA) has formed the Buy Now, Pay Later Working Group (BNPL WG) to develop a BNPL framework for Singapore, under the guidance of the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

The BNPL framework will mitigate risks of consumer over-indebtedness and ensure that BNPL offerings have “a positive impact on Singapore consumers as well as continue to benefit the system,” according to a press release.

BNPL WG aims to launch the framework in the second half of the year.

Members of the working group include Atome, Grab, and hoolah. Other industry players such as Ablr, Fave, Latitude Pay, Pace, Rely, Split, and Zip will also participate.

The BNPL WG is also calling out from now to 8 April 2022 to other organisations currently offering BNPL services or are planning to do so, to bolster its ranks further and participate in the development of the BNPL Framework.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
