To push into the booming BNPL market of the United Kingdom, traditional banking firms are forging strategic alliances with online retailers in the country.
- In December 2021, Barclays announced that the firm had entered into a strategic collaboration with Amazon to launch a new BNPL product for online shoppers in the country.
