Klarna Fuels £30bn Expansion With UK Loans Partnership
Klarna, the AI-powered global payments network and shopping assistant, has signed a strategic, multi-year agreement with a subsidiary of funds advised by Elliott Advisors (UK) Limited for the on-going sale of substantially all of Klarna’s short-term, interest free product receivables in the UK. Klarna will still own all consumer-facing activities, including underwriting and servicing.
Over the past three years, Klarna has been building an efficient and robust capital offloading platform to support its compounding network growth. This partnership represents the latest addition to these platform capabilities, allowing Klarna to fund over £30B of volume through the life of the transaction.
“This is a unique deal, designed to support Klarna’s global growth as we continue on our journey to become the commerce network for the next generation. By efficiently managing our assets, we can deploy shareholder equity more effectively to meet the growing demand for Klarna’s products and services for both consumers and merchants globally,” said Niclas Neglén, Chief Financial Officer of Klarna.
Klarna has grown substantially in the UK, with ten million British consumers having used the service in the past 12 months. The number of retailers offering Klarna in the UK leapt by 33% in the past year to over 40,000.
