We're a Fintech that's just built different. We obsess, for years, over challenges in consumer finance, and create novel solutions that meet today's needs and anticipate tomorrow's challenges.
Unique Datasets
When a consumer finances their groceries using a Klarna ‘Pay in 4’ loan, data aggregators don’t have any of the loan details and credit bureaus don’t even know that the loan exists. That’s why we’ve created critical new data sets to illuminate these blind spots.
