THE COMPANY: Sezzle is a financial technology company
located in Minneapolis, operating
in the U.S. and Canada. It
provides a payment platform that allows shoppers to make purchases
with interest-free installment plans at participating online
retailers.
THE ALLEGED
WRONGDOING: On December 18, 2024,
Hindenburg Research released a report titled, "Sezzle: A Failing
'Buy Now, Pay Later' Platform Playing Short-Term Tricks as Insiders
Cash Out via Stock Sales and Margin Loans." The report expresses
concerns about Sezzle's sustainability, highlighting risky
financial practices, a declining customer and merchant base,
insider stock sales, and questionable subscription practices.
The Company borrows at high interest rates to offer loans to
high-risk consumers, resulting in increased credit losses. Since
2021, the number of active merchants on its platform has decreased
by 51%, and its customer base has dropped by 20%. Meanwhile,
Company insiders have sold $71
million in stock, and the CEO has pledged $542 million in shares as collateral for a margin
loan, representing ~30% of the Company's total shares.
While subscriptions now comprise a larger portion of revenue,
customer complaints indicate unauthorized enrollments. With nearly
1,000 complaints and a low 1.1-star rating from the Better Business
Bureau (BBB), Hindenburg Research questions Sezzle's long-term
viability.
