FlexiGroup (ASX FXL) is a financial services company based in Australia.

Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) shares have been running hot right now, with APT both going gangbusters – fully recovering from the correction in early 2020.

With both those stocks running so hard, FXL has been left in the dust.

They are also transforming their business and online sales volumes have grown strongly. This is creating capital growth as they ramp up their BNPL business.

In addition, FXL pays a huge grossed-up dividend yield of 9.82% – levels that generally only banks can reach.
