To put finance back in its rightful place: at the service of merchants and consumers!
Alma is a leading European buy now, pay later (BNPL) company. It's focused on merchants, and provides instalment and deferred payment solutions to help them increase customer loyalty and generate extra sales revenue.
The BNPL industry has taken off in Europe in recent years, with many people now opting for this rather than credit cards. Lots of companies have capitalised on this new opportunity, including the likes of Klarna and Alma, fintechs like Monzo, and card giants like MasterCard.
Despite competition in the space, Alma has grown significantly in recent years. It took advantage of the fact that Klarna (the dominant force in Europe) wasn't in France when first launching in its domestic market. Now, more than 13,000 brands use Alma, including Sandro, The Kooples, and Samsonite. It is focused on expansion and partnerships (such as its 2023 partnership with leading payment operations platform Numeral) to win the rest of the European BNPL market.
