BNPL firms are offering value-added services to their consumers to build brand loyalty in the United Kingdom
The competition in the BNPL space has increased significantly over the last two years. To gain a competitive advantage and build brand loyalty, BNPL providers are moving beyond flexible payment schemes.
In November 2022, Klarna, one of the leading players in the United Kingdom BNPL industry, announced the launch of a search and compare tool within its app for consumers in the United Kingdom. The add-on feature will allow consumers to look out for the best deals when shopping online. The launch of the feature builds upon the acquisition of PriceRunner, a comparison-shopping service, which Klarna acquired in April 2022.

The launch of the search and compare tool is part of the firm’s super app strategy through which Klarna aims to offer everything online experience to consumers within its app.
Firms are raising a funding round to support product development and onboard more merchants in the United Kingdom
Even though the BNPL sector has been under stringent regulatory scrutiny, the business model has continued to gain rapid momentum among both merchants and consumers. As a result of this growing demand, venture capital firms are also betting on players with strong fundamentals in the United Kingdom market.
In October 2022, Tymit, the United Kingdom-based BNPL firm, announced that the firm had raised US$26.7 million or £23 million in a Series A funding round, which was led by Frasers Group.
The firm is planning to use the freshly infused capital to further support its white-label BNPL product development and for onboarding more merchants in the country.
The consumer installment credit market has become increasingly competitive in the United Kingdom over the last few years. White-label solutions that enable merchants to offer their own BNPL service under their brand are expected to gain increasing traction from the short to medium-term perspective. Consequently, the publisher expects more venture capital and private equity firms to invest their dollars in firms like Tymit over the next three to four years.
