About this episode
Is Klarna’s IPO a smart bet, or just another overhyped fintech story? We break down everything you need to know as shares hit the market:
- How Klarna makes money without charging shoppers interest.
- Why its U.S. business is taking off and how it plans to evolve from a “Buy Now Pay Later” button into a full-blown shopping super-app.
- The brutal competition from Affirm, PayPal, and big banks
- The regulatory risks looming over the BNPL industry, and more.
From its $14 billion IPO valuation to its AI-driven cost cutting and ambitions to be the future of online shopping, this episode covers Klarna’s biggest opportunities and its biggest challenges.
