Blocking Consumer Protection Rules for Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) Loans

This resolution seeks to nullify a new federal rule that required "Buy Now, Pay Later" (BNPL) providers to follow standard credit disclosure laws. If passed, consumers using BNPL services will not be guaranteed the same informational rights and protections as those using traditional credit cards. This results in less transparency regarding financial terms for BNPL users.
Key points
Congress aims to disapprove the rule extending consumer protection (Regulation Z) requirements, including mandatory credit disclosures, to BNPL loans.
Blocking the rule means BNPL companies will not be mandated to disclose all credit terms in the detailed manner required for traditional lenders.
