Last week proved to be good week in terms of FinTech investment, with the rounds revealing the state of CyberTech and InsurTech.

FinTech unicorn Klarna has unveiled plans to launch a new customer loyalty programme called Vibe later this summer in what could be a first for a buy now, pay later service provider.

Swedish payment and shopping unicorn Klarna has become Europe's most valuable FinTech, but what does that mean for the other FinTech ventures in the Nordics?

A Columbian drug lord's brother and the biggest privately-owned FinTech in Europe could be heading towards a legal battle threatening to delay Klarna's public listing.

Klarna may soon arguably be named Europe's most valuable privately held FinTech after news broke that the payment firm is in talks with investors to raise new funding that would push its valuation across the $10bn mark.

Klarna's latest app update is aimed at elevating the shopping experience for its UK customers to offer them more flexibility, control and personalisation while shopping online.

Just days after Klarna announced that its losses had grown sevenfold in the first half of 2020, PayPal has launched a buy now, pay later offering similar to the one given by Klarna and its rivals such as AfterPay and Affirm.

Klarna's CEO has hinted that it might soon go public despite the Swedish payment unicorn's losses having jumped to $59.8m in the first six months of 2020, a sevenfold increase from the same period in 2019.
