Sezzle Newsroom

Payments platform LaCore Payment Technologies will now offer a buy now, pay later (BNPL) option to its merchants via a strategic partnership with Sezzle. The company pointed to Sezzle’s growing popularity and its “easy-to-use BNPL solution” as a trusted option for its merchants’ needs — “a must for our clients.”

Sezzle, a leader in the Buy Now, Pay Later industry, today announces its partnership with consumer brands group THG, which will provide THG brands with Sezzle’s next-gen financing solution. Sezzle welcomes THG to its community of over 40,000 innovative brands.

Payment platform Sezzle said it has confidentially submitted a draft registration statement for an initial public offering (IPO) to the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission, according to a press release. Neither the number of shares or price has been revealed. The IPO will likely take place after the SEC completes its review process, subject to market conditions.

CEO of Sezzle, Charlie Youakim, believes Sezzle’s novel approach to credit scoring can help it capture a big opportunity by extending credit to those who may not qualify for it elsewhere, and in turn, fill a void created by banks that have struggled to move in that direction as a result of heavy industry oversight.
