Klarna Secures Exclusive Walmart Partnership, Replacing Affirm for Installment Loans

The Swedish fintech will integrate its buy now, pay later services into Walmart's OnePay app, ending Affirm's six-year relationship with the retail giant.

  • Klarna and Walmart's OnePay have announced an exclusive partnership to provide installment loans for Walmart customers in stores and online.
  • The new service will allow shoppers to choose repayment terms ranging from 3 to 36 months, with annual interest rates between 10% and 36%.
  • Affirm, which had been Walmart's exclusive installment loan provider since 2019, will no longer offer its services at the retailer.
  • The partnership comes as Klarna prepares for its highly anticipated U.S. IPO, aiming to raise over $1 billion with a valuation exceeding $15 billion.
  • Walmart's OnePay app, which already offers various financial services, is expected to expand its user base and revenue through this collaboration with Klarna.
