Ikea selects Sezzle as buy now pay later partner in North America

Ikea is now offering shoppers in the US and Canada a buy now, pay later service with Sezzle.

Other recent retailer wins for Sezzle include Target, Lamps Plus, Barstool Sports, The Hut Group, Wakefern Food, BELLAMI Hair, California Pet Pharmacy, Market America, Rogers Sporting Goods, Dermstore, Sportsman's Guide, Made in Cookware, Spartan Race, and Princess Auto.

Sezzle's Executive Chairman and CEO Charlie Youakim says: “We are enthusiastic about our in-store growth reflecting the significant opportunity to be more than just an online option for consumers."

Taste the Future

As part of a Taste the Future campaign, Ikea is on the hunt for data and technology talent across Europe, to fill key roles in the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany and Switzerland.

And the retailer is inviting people for a job interview over experimental 3D printed Swedish meatballs.

“We are at the start of a journey to embrace data and technology to become more affordable, accessible and sustainable in an omnichannel environment,” says Inter Ikea Group CIO Pascal Pauwels.

“Naturally people with imagination will play a big role in that quest. So here we’re looking for people who want to create a better everyday life with us. This campaign is a great way to start the conversation.”

“We’re looking for down to earth data scientists, future architects, cyber guardians, unboxed engineers and common sense makers. People who want to co-create a better everyday life at home for the many with thin wallets,” adds Karen Rivoire, Ikea Employer Brand Leader.

NB: Alas, there are no plans to put the 3D printed meatballs on the menu at Ikea’s restaurants. Sob.
