Buy now, pay later (BNPL) users in the U.S. 2021, by gender
According to a 2021 consumer survey, men in the United States used buy now, pay later (BNPL) more often for online shopping than women. The source notes that the BNPL penetration rate had grown by nearly 50 percent between March 2021 and its previous survey in July 2020, although it does not provide this growth rate for male and female respondents. Nevertheless, 51 percent of the female respondents - who made up almost six out of 10 respondents in the 2021 survey - said they had used a BNPL service before, against almost 63 percent of male respondents.
