Actually, it was you that made the unsupported assertion that Afterpay is operating on paper thin margins. You can provide evidence or move on.
By my calculations, they are receiving a fee of 3.8% on 100% of the GMV even though they are only lending 75% (all first payments now come out upfront) and the money is repaid within 6 weeks, so the average life of the loan is less than 4 weeks. If you convert that to an effective interest rate, it is well over 50%, which as I’ve said is far from paper thin.
