Current BNPL Account Linking

Currently, you are not able to link your Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) accounts directly via Open Banking.

BNPL Transactions Identified

However, BNPL and Pay-on-Demand transactions are identified and presented within the Insights PDF and spreadsheet. This means that while the accounts aren't directly linked, these transactions are still visible and considered.

Examples of BNPL Providers

Common BNPL providers whose transactions may be identified include Afterpay, Brighte, Humm, Klarna, LatitudePay, Payright, and Zip Pay.

Future Expansion of CDR to BNPL

The Australian Government announced in November 2024 that the Consumer Data Right (CDR) is expanding to the non-bank lending sector, including BNPL.

Staggered Activation Timeline

Staggered activation of this expansion is anticipated towards the end of 2026 and throughout 2027. This means that in the future, you will likely be able to link your BNPL accounts directly through Open Banking.
