Why We’ve Chosen Afterpay - Even as BNPL Faces New Rules
If you’ve been following the headlines, you’ll know that Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) platforms like Afterpay are about to step into a new era of regulation in Australia. The government is tightening the rules to ensure these services are treated more like traditional credit providers - with stronger consumer protections and clearer responsibilities.
So, why are we at Goodness Studio choosing this moment to partner with Afterpay?
Because we believe regulation is a good thing.
At Goodness Studio, our focus has always been on thoughtful design and conscious consumption. We want you to fill your home with things you love - pieces that bring joy, not stress. Making that possible means offering flexibility, but never at the expense of financial wellbeing.
That’s why we see these new BNPL rules as a positive step forward - one that aligns with our values of care, transparency, and intention.
A More Responsible Way to Pay
Afterpay’s willingness to evolve with regulation gives us confidence that our customers will be even better supported when choosing flexible payment options. With clearer safeguards, responsible checks, and stronger accountability, Afterpay is moving toward what it was always meant to be: simple, safe, and supportive.
What This Means for You
