What is Johnson Fistel investigating? On December 16, 2021, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the "CFPB") announced that it had launched an inquiry into the payment service offered by Affirm known as "buy-now, pay-later" ("BNPL"). The CFPB issued an order to Affirm, along with four other companies offering BNPL, seeking information about Affirm's facilitation of excessive consumer debt, regulatory arbitrage, and data harvesting. The CFPB said it is concerned about "accumulating debt, regulatory arbitrage, and data harvesting" and is seeking data on the risks and benefits of the products. In a statement addressing BNPL services, CFPB Director Rohit Chopra said, "[t]he consumer gets the product immediately but gets the debt immediately too."Following this event, Affirm’s stock price plummeted 21% during trading hours.
