Sezzle has introduced features it says are designed to help customers weather increased financial pressure. “With record-low consumer confidence — the Conference Board’s index recently plunged to its lowest level since May 2020 amid fears of tariffs and recession — the current climate makes budgeting tools more essential than ever,” Sezzle said. Among the new features are Sezzle Balance, designed to simplify the repayment process for consumers through a pre-loadable digital wallet. There are two additional products in beta: “Express Checkout,” described as a “streamlined flow that reduces friction for returning shoppers,” and Browser Extension, a tool that automatically prompts shoppers to earn Sezzle Spend and save with available coupons. “When shoppers see real savings, they come back — it’s that simple,” said Charlie Youakim, Sezzle Chairman and CEO. “That’s why we’re focused on delivering value at every touchpoint, whether it’s through smarter discovery, seamless checkout, or transparent pricing. The more we help consumers feel in control and save money, the more they trust and choose Sezzle as their go-to way to shop.”
