Our take
Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) options have exploded in popularity in recent years, with companies such as Klarna and Clearpay providing an additional line of credit to customers, allowing them to split the cost of their purchases over several instalments. Billie is a BNPL built for business transactions, using machine-learning driven risk models to finance B2B purchases responsibly.
With over 100,000 customers processing more than €750 million on its platform, Billie is relatively unchallenged in its market. While BNPL firms like Afterpay and Klarna could theoretically move into the B2B space, they are specialised in B2C financing and lack Billie's data on the B2B sector. Billie also boasts a range of features designed specifically for intra-company sales, such as instant verification, invoicing tools and business payment options, which give it a significant advantage against any new rivals.
Billie has raised impressive funding from investors, most recently in a 2021 Series C round. Additionally, its 2022 integration with Klarna and its 2025 announced availability on Stripe have removed major roadblocks to its future expansion. These moves, alongside its entrance into more markets in Europe, will likely speed the company's ascension to Unicorn status and solidify its market lead in the BNPL space.
