Yet another Aussie buy-now, pay-later player has burst onto the scene, with a $210 million Series A raise valuing the newcomer at more than $1 billion.

The round was led by US giant Tiger Global, and also included backing from Baleen Capital and Woodson Capital.

They join existing investors Fasanara Capital and Ithaca Investments.
