Klarna offers its BNPL exclusive offer to Walmart customers
The Swedish BNPL giant Klarna expands its web internationally and has recently signed a major partnership in the United States to enable it to establish its ambitions. Klarna has just moved closer to the American distribution giant, Walmart, to become the exclusive provider of split payment services to its end customers.
In 2015, Klarna announced its launch in the United States. Its positioning across the Atlantic has not been without darkness. In particular, Fintech had to make substantial financial efforts partly responsible for its record losses to win. It was in 2021 that Klarna submitted first positive results in this high-potential market, before recording a growth of its record volume of transactions in 2022. The United States has since become the first market for Klarna's international activity in terms of users (with 37 million customers in 2023 in the country).
