SFA forms buy now, pay later working group to develop framework

The working group is calling out to organisations offering BNPL services to join their ranks.

The Singapore FinTech Association (SFA) has formed the Buy Now, Pay Later Working Group (BNPL WG) to develop a BNPL framework for Singapore, under the guidance of the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

The BNPL framework will mitigate risks of consumer over-indebtedness and ensure that BNPL offerings have “a positive impact on Singapore consumers as well as continue to benefit the system,” according to a press release.

BNPL WG aims to launch the framework in the second half of the year.

Members of the working group include Atome, Grab, and hoolah. Other industry players such as Ablr, Fave, Latitude Pay, Pace, Rely, Split, and Zip will also participate.

The BNPL WG is also calling out from now to 8 April 2022 to other organisations currently offering BNPL services or are planning to do so, to bolster its ranks further and participate in the development of the BNPL Framework.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
