Katapult Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: KPLT) is an innovative technology-driven lease-to-own (LTO) platform designed to empower underserved U.S. non-prime consumers. Through seamless integration with omni-channel retailers and e-commerce platforms, Katapult facilitates the purchase of everyday durable goods for consumers who might otherwise lack access to traditional financing options.
Katapult partners with both online and brick-and-mortar retailers across the United States, enabling these businesses to expand their customer base by offering LTO solutions to sub-prime consumers. This strategic partnership not only boosts sales for retailers but also provides a mainstream shopping experience to consumers who typically might shop at rent-to-own stores, buy second-hand goods, or forego purchases altogether.
The company's recent achievements include a partnership with Grown Brilliance, a leader in ethically engineered lab-grown diamonds, integrating Katapult's LTO solution into its payment checkout flow. This collaboration allows consumers to acquire high-quality, lab-grown diamonds, thereby expanding the variety of durable goods accessible through Katapult’s lease offerings.
Katapult's approval process is quick and easy, providing consumers with immediate purchasing power. The platform supports major e-commerce integrations and offers custom solutions, facilitating a hassle-free experience for both retailers and consumers. For online retailers, Katapult’s integration process is streamlined and supported by major e-commerce platforms, while physical stores require no special equipment to start offering financing options.
