A spokesperson said the products were in very early development and were likely to be trialled first across some European markets next year.
Approximatively five million Brits have used Buy Now, Pay Later since the start of the pandemic as the size of the UK market quadrupled in 2020 to reach GBP 2.7 billion, according to the FCA.
