Research from the UK shows one in ten users of Buy Now Pay Later end up with contact from debt collectors, while in the UK and NZ, BNPL are deemed as credit products. But in Australia, we are pursuing a different and more relaxed path, despite the high volume of late payment fees, despite the harm.

I caught up with Michael Cornips Founder and Managing Director of Emerald Financial, a financial services firm founded in Melbourne in 2005. We discussed the current state of the markets, and specifically whether QE can be undone. We also explored the questions of value, and whether Central Bank Digital Currencies are inevitable.

I caught up with the CEO and Founder of True Savings Pete Steel, to discuss the potential savings which borrowers may be able to access by avoiding what I call the “apathy tax”. In the current situation with finances under pressure, seeking a better mortgage rate is something which is relatively easy to do and the savings are significant. Why not keep the savings yourself, rather than propping up the profitability of the banks?
DFA FAIR DISCLOSURE: DFA was not paid to make this show. We did however provide data from our surveys to confirm the potential savings which are available.
