Insights

This partnership with Rural King represents a significant market expansion for Sezzle, tapping into a robust rural retail network of 130 stores nationwide. The timing ahead of the holiday season is particularly strategic, given the 47% year-over-year growth in BNPL usage during Black Friday and $940 million in BNPL transactions on Cyber Monday 2023.

Rural King's diverse product mix of farm supplies, home goods and daily essentials provides Sezzle with exposure to both discretionary and non-discretionary spending categories. This diversification is important as it helps buffer against economic downturns while capturing higher-ticket farm equipment purchases. The partnership positions Sezzle to capitalize on the growing trend of BNPL adoption in traditional retail sectors, particularly important as consumers seek payment flexibility amid persistent inflationary pressures.
