Buy now, pay later is a method of payment with instalments at a small or interest-free rate. The payment method sky-rocketed in 2020. But why? The COVID-19 pandemic. The global crisis created job insecurity, with people seeking alternative means to sourcing income. However, the paradox lies in the fact that people flooded to shopping online and relying on ecommerce because of closed brick and mortar establishments.

Is globalisation done or done very well?
Over the past few years doomsayers have pointed to state protectionism, the Covid pandemic and now the Ukraine conflict as signs that the post-cold war growth of globalisation is on the decline. More pointedly, in the digital realm, the fears are that the world is splintering into different versions of the internet with three dominant models of handling data – US corporate driven and two-tiered, Chinese state regulated and a European privacy led model.

Unicorn hunters are chasing the wrong mythical beast
Every startup wants to be a unicorn. If you’re the founder of a new tech company, it’s easy to see the attraction of a $1B valuation.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past three months, you’ve probably noticed that the once sunny fintech economic climate has become increasingly foggy. There are certainly specialists who can speculate on why exactly this has happened, but as someone in the field, and as a founder myself, I’m well-placed to report on how it’s affecting the sector that I have called home for over thirty years.
