April 24 (Reuters) - Sweden's Klarna on Wednesday

partnered with Uber Technologies ( UBER ) to offer its payment

services across the company's ridesharing and food delivery

platforms in a few markets, including the United States.

Uber ( UBER ) said last year that it would accept more payment

options on its food delivery platform and roll out an artificial

intelligence (AI)-powered assistant to help users find deals.

Payments giant Stripe has also tied-up with the ride-sharing

company to offer its services.
