BNPL vs credit card debt
BNPL can look smaller than a credit card balance, but several small payments can stack into real monthly pressure.
Plain-English explanation
Credit cards usually show one balance, APR, and minimum. BNPL can spread obligations across apps and dates. A payoff plan should count both so monthly pressure is not understated.
Real-number example
Example: four BNPL plans at $65 each can create $260 of monthly obligations before a credit card minimum is even counted.
