Australia's Afterpay says some BNPL users told to close accounts, then sold credit cards

Afterpay, a leading buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) provider in Australia, reported that some customers were asked to close their BNPL accounts to qualify for mortgages, while being offered credit cards instead. This highlights the competitive landscape in consumer finance. A survey indicated that over 10% of users faced this situation, with Afterpay suggesting banks view BNPL users as riskier. New legislation requiring credit checks for BNPL firms is set to improve transparency. Afterpay's Head of Public Policy emphasized that account closures should not stem from misconceptions about regulatory requirements.
