It starts with that air fryer you have been eyeing for months that is finally on sale for R2 000, but you only have R1 000 available today. But wait! What about the Buy now, pay later (BNPL) option? You get the air fryer immediately and your payments only start later. No interest. No waiting. It feels like a smart workaround. But, there is a catch.
