Our take
Buy now, pay later financing options are growing increasingly popular in the B2C space, but so far B2B businesses have been underserved. Slope seeks to address this imbalance, making it easier for B2B businesses to offer buy now, pay later financing options at checkout through its platform.
Compared to other providers, Slope's technology is fast and effective. It's no surprise that the company has already made a considerable impact, and boasts the backing of companies such as DoorDash and Opendoor. Slope has been growing at an impressive pace, especially in North America and Asia, bagging funding that will allow it to expand its product moving forwards.
