Grocery giant Walmart has launched a second Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) program in partnership with tech firm One. This new payment option will be available at over 4,600 Walmart locations nationwide for eligible purchases between $100 and $3,000. Like other BNPL programs, One allows customers to take home items by paying only a minimum balance or percentage of the overall purchase amount. However, experts caution that these programs can carry significant financial risks for shoppers. The APR for One’s BNPL feature ranges from 9.99% to 35.99%, and missed payments can lead to debt collection and other penalties.
