Mastercard wants a piece of the “buy now, pay later” pie - a podcast by Marketplace

The ability to offer customers the chance to buy now, pay later has been the domain of smaller businesses that were separate from credit card companies. Now, in an effort to attract younger people who might be wary of debt, credit card companies like Mastercard want in. Susan Schmidt joins us to discuss the possible effect the news coming out of Washington could have on the markets. We then talk about how businesses have “pivoted” to the world of online during the pandemic, and how some entrepreneurs have used that as a chance to innovate.
