📦 What’s Inside the Buy Now Pay Later Dashboard in Power BI
1 — Overview Page
The executive landing page. Five KPI cards (Total Transactions, Total GMV, Total Approved, Total Outstanding, Total Late Fees) sit at the top. Below them, four charts provide portfolio context:
🔸 Total GMV by Platform — ranks platforms by gross merchandise value, showing where transaction volume is concentrated across BNPL providers like Afterpay, Klarna, Affirm, Zip, or your internal platforms.
🔸 Repayment Rate — measures the percentage of approved amounts that have been repaid, the single most important health metric for a BNPL portfolio. Spot repayment trends before late fees escalate.
🔸 Default Rate by Channel — compares default rates across origination channels (online, in-store, app, partner) to identify which intake routes carry the highest delinquency rates.
🔸 Total GMV and Total Approved by Month Name — a dual-series chart revealing whether approval volume is keeping pace with GMV month over month, a leading indicator of portfolio risk tightening or loosening.
Overview Page
2 — Platform Analysis
Three platform-focused breakdowns for BNPL portfolio managers comparing provider performance:
🔸 Total Outstanding by Platform — shows the current book balance per platform, a key input for provisioning, treasury planning, and credit line utilization reporting.
🔸 Default Rate by Platform — flags which platforms are generating the highest default rates, enabling risk teams to tighten origination criteria or exit underperforming partnerships.
🔸 Total Approved by Platform — ranks each BNPL platform by approved loan volume, useful for channel mix optimization and contract renegotiations with platform providers.
Platform Analysis
3 — Customer Insights
Three customer-focused analytics for credit risk and marketing teams:
🔸 Avg Order Value by Age Group — reveals which age demographics drive the highest-value transactions, informing product design, credit limit policy, and targeted promotions.
🔸 Default Rate by Default Risk — cross-tabulates default outcomes against risk ratings to validate the predictive power of the credit scoring model and calibrate risk-based pricing.
🔸 Total GMV by Customer Segment — compares transaction volume across customer tiers (new, returning, premium, at-risk), helping retention and acquisition teams prioritize spend.
Customer Insights
4 — Merchant Analysis
Three merchant- and channel-focused analytics for commercial teams:
🔸 Total Outstanding by Product Category — maps outstanding balances across product types, revealing which categories carry the longest repayment tails and highest late-fee risk.
🔸 Total GMV by Merchant Category — shows which retail verticals (fashion, electronics, health, home) generate the most BNPL volume, guiding merchant acquisition strategy.
🔸 Total GMV and Total Approved by Channel — a side-by-side channel comparison of gross volume and approvals, highlighting where approval rates are tight and pipeline is being left on the table.
Merchant Analysis
5 — Trends
Three longitudinal trend charts for month-over-month tracking:
🔸 Total Transactions by Platform — month-by-month transaction volume per platform, showing seasonal patterns and platform-level growth trajectories.
🔸 Total Transactions by Month Name — overall portfolio transaction count trend, the baseline volume KPI for executive reports and board decks.
🔸 Total Outstanding by Month Name — rolling outstanding balance trend that flags whether the portfolio is growing, plateauing, or de-risking, a key input for treasury and provisioning forecasts.
