    "Repayment data from Klarna won't affect your credit score - for now"

    Erm - dont you mean that repayment data from Klarna won't affect your made up number from experian or transunion.  It may well start to affect the numbers that individual lenders compute themselves from the credit history.  If its on your credit history, then they could start using it from right now.

    That's a decent move from one example of BNPL. Which could mean missed or late payments impacting future credit ability. Is PayPal Credit reported, need to repay ps5 over 18 months, maybe sooner.
