Affirm Holdings Inc. chief executive officer Max Levchin said his firm is growing faster than other buy now, pay later companies such as Klarna Bank AB.
“I think we are outpacing them reasonably well in terms of our growth relative to theirs, at least according to the stated numbers,” Max Levchin said in a Bloomberg Television interview Thursday, referring to Klarna. “I think there’s a real momentum – you can tell by looking at our metrics.”
