March 20 (Reuters) - Swedish payments firm Klarna, which

is gearing up for a listing on the New York Stock Exchange, said

on Thursday it has entered a payments partnership with online

food and grocery delivery firm DoorDash ( DASH ).

Under the terms of the agreement, DoorDash ( DASH ) customers could

either pay in full, in four interest-free installments or defer

payments until later.

The deal could add to Klarna's momentum ahead of its initial

public offering, and comes days after it said it was partnering

with consumer finance app OnePay to offer installment loans for

purchases at retail giant Walmart ( WMT ) in the United States.

Earlier this month, Klarna disclosed a 24% surge in revenue

for 2024 as it moves toward a long-awaited market debut that

could be one of the most high-profile listings this year.
