Klarna is growing rapidly, especially in the US, where they saw a +230% growth in retailers in 2019. Some of the biggest e-commerce players have joined them on their journey, such as H&M, Ticketmaster, ASOS, and Footlocker. 15 years later, Sebastian Siemiatkowski is still the CEO of Klarna and remains as passionate about the business as ever. Through these years, Klarna has become much more than just a payment provider. With Klarna, businesses get a true partnership.
