Buy Now, Pay Later rules coming into force
Wednesday 15th July, 2026
The UK’s FCA is bringing Buy Now, Pay Later into full consumer-credit regulation from 15 July 2026, requiring authorisation, affordability checks and stronger borrower protections for deferred-payment products. This gives you a chance to talk about responsible family spending and safe, age-appropriate marketing in the UK as BNPL becomes regulated and shoppers reassess payment choices.
