Journal Title: International Journal of Current Science Research and Review - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 05
Abstract
The advancement of technology and the internet has driven significant transformations in the global business landscape and consumer lifestyles. One notable innovation in financial technology (Fintech) is Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL), a digital financial service that enables consumers to make purchases without immediate payment, thereby creating a more appealing and instant shopping experience. This service has gained substantial popularity among younger generations, particularly Generation Z, who account for 56.7% of Pay Later users. This study aims to analyze the influence of BNPL on hedonistic lifestyle, facility utilization, and impulsive buying behavior using a quantitative approach involving questionnaire distribution and analysis through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal a positive relationship between BNPL usage and both facility utilization and hedonistic lifestyle, which ultimately contributes to increased impulsive buying behavior among young consumers in Indonesia.
