Appearing in Money Magazine on April 3, 2025, Adam Hardy interviews NCLC Senior Attorney Chi Chi Wu for coverage of BNPL lender Affirm beginning to send information on all its short-term lending products — including its increasingly popular “Pay in 4” BNPL loan — to the credit bureau Experian.

“The big three credit bureaus have been pushing BNPL providers to supply this data. Their stock and trade is data, and the more data they can get, the better.”
