Pay-later services come with risks

04:04pm, Sunday, 28'th Nov 2021 The Manila Times
New York, United States: Krista Michels can''t get enough of the online services that allow American shoppers to pay for everything from Christmas presents to monthly bills without fees, known as "buy now, pay later." "I''m kind of addicted now," said the young mother in Washington state. She first turned to these solutions offered at check-out stores or online to rebuild her credit rating, which was too low to access a traditional credit card. Michels now uses them whenever possible, at the supermarket or to pay her internet bills. Startups like Affirm, AfterPay, Klarna and Sezzle usually allow consumers to pay for a purchase in four installments without fees or interest, like a typical credit card but without the associated paperwork and the complexities of fees and interest payments. They''ve also proven useful for consumers who do not have access to traditional credit, such as new immigrants to the United States. But consumer advocates say they carry the same risks as credit cards and shoppers must be careful not to saddle themselves with excessive debt and stay mindful of the services'' differing terms. "The concern is that people could get overextended if they''re not careful," said Chuck Bell, a program director at Consumer Reports.

06:00pm, Saturday, 27'th Nov 2021 OilPrice com
Back in 2019, Goldman Sachs made waves after becoming the first mainstream Wall Street bank to renounce fossil fuel investments. GS said it would cease financing any new oil exploration or drilling in the Arctic, or financing new thermal coal mines anywhere on the globe. Goldman also pledged to invest $750 billion over the next decade into areas that focus on climate transition. Predictably, other banks began to feel the ethical squeeze and a slew of other investment banks soon followed suit. In April 2020, Citigroup joined GS by denouncing financing
