Martin Lewis has criticised Deliveroo for allowing customers to spread the cost of a takeaway using Klarna. People ordering food through the app will now see buy now pay later as an option.
Customers will be given the option to pay the full amount immediately, pay for their food in full within 30 days or in three instalments over 60 days, if the order is £30 or more. But the partnership has been criticised by consumer experts, with one calling it "extraordinarily irresponsible", the Mirror reports.
Money Saving Expert founder Mr Lewis said on Twitter: "Dear Deliveroo do you really need pump debt as a way to pay for takeaways? Buy Now Pay Later may seem innocuous but it is 1) Not yet regulated 2) Debt, even if done right its 0%.
