      This article just screams clickbait, from how they play fast & loose with their numbers, yet never seem to define their terms, etc.

      Approximately 60% of the consumers PYMNTS Intelligence recently surveyed for a new report said pay later plans help them facilitate better budgeting.

      It’s a survey result. From PYMNTS Intelligence. Not “general Western-world customers” as the title would lead us to believe.

      Take with a massive grain of salt. I understand less after reading it than I did before clicking:-(.

        That’s kind of what I thought after I saw the website, just because I have never heard of them.
