Klarna, the buy now, pay later lender that\u2019s headed for an initial public offering, said on Thursday that it\u2019s signed on DoorDash as a partner, another sign of momentum for public market investors.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s DoorDash\u2019s first BNPL alliance and gives users of the restaurant delivery service a new way to pay for meals. Klarna said in a press release that DoorDash customers will be able to pay in full at checkout, split payments into four equal interest-free installments, or defer to dates that align conveniently with payday schedules.<\/p>\n
Klarna, which is headquartered in Sweden, filed its prospectus last week to list on the New York Stock Exchange. Revenue last year increased 24% to $2.8 billion, and adjusted operating profit was $181 million, swinging from a loss of $49 million a year earlier. CNBC reported on Monday that Klarna will be the exclusive provider of buy now, pay later loans for Walmart, taking a coveted partnership away from rival Affirm.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur partnership with DoorDash marks an important milestone in Klarna\u2019s expansion into everyday spending categories,\u201d said David Sykes, Klarna\u2019s chief commercial officer, in Thursday\u2019s release.<\/p>\n
Klarna, founded in 2005, said in its prospectus that it has 675,000 merchant partners in 26 countries. It\u2019s among the most hotly anticipated IPOs of the year following an extended stretch of historically little activity for new offerings.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
