There are no customers fees or interest on PayPal ‘Pay in 4’.
I use ‘Pay in 4’ on PayPal on big purchases and council rates. Use their money while my money earns interest in the bank. What is more I get the Reward points on my credit card as well.
I pay the large majority of things with PayPal or Post Billpay.

Good article, danger danger. Hard nope from me. I go on short rations quite often these days as the pension fails to keep pace with increases in the cost of living. But I’ll starve before I fall for any of these BNPL things. Its predatory lending at best…
