Swedish Wallenberg Family Anoints Next Generation With New Posts

Private equity group EQT AB said Jacob Wallenberg Jr, born 1992, was being proposed as a new board member. The family's investment vehicle Investor AB separately announced that Fred Wallenberg, born 1990, would be put forward to its board of directors at the next annual general meeting.

Klarna CEO predicts AI-driven job displacement will cause a recession
Klarna's CEO has predicted that a recession could be around the corner as companies around the globe—including his own—reduce the headcount of well-paid, white-collar jobs and replace them with AI. Sebastian Siemiatkowski, the boss of the Swedish Buy Now, Pay Later group is once again sounding a pessimistic tone on AI's impact on the workforce. But as he embraces the potential positive effects of AI on his own bottom line, he may have to contest with the negative fallout of a company that has flirted with growing credit losses in the last year. While he admitted that 'making future statements about macroeconomics is like horoscopes,' Siemiatkowski's well-documented feelings about AI's impact on the labor market leave him making a pessimistic prediction about the economy. 'My suspicion…is that there will be an implication for white-collar jobs. And when that happens, that usually leads to at least a recession in the short term. And I think, unfortunately, I don't see how we could avoid that with what's happening from a technology perspective,' Siemiatkowski said on the Times Tech Podcast. Siematkowski has long warned of the disruptive nature of AI on the labor market, using his experience of shifting recruiting practices at Klarna to support his argument that it will replace roles. He told the podcast that the company's headcount had fallen from 5,500 people to 3,000 in the space of two years. Speaking in August last year, Siematkowski said his ambition was to eventually reduce that figure to 2,000 through workplace norms like attrition rather than by engaging in layoffs. In February last year, Klarna announced that its AI chatbot was doing the work of 700 customer service staff, previously a role filled by customer service agents working for the French agency Teleperformance. While Siemiatkowski has faced criticism for his willingness to talk about AI's disruptive potential, he indicated he felt it was more of a duty to be frank about the technology. 'Many people in the tech industry, especially CEOs, tend to downplay the consequences of AI on jobs, white-collar jobs in particular. I don't want to be one of them.' Indeed, Siemiatkowski implied that if he added up the number of employees of CEOs who had called him to ask about making 'efficiencies,' that figure in itself would make for a seismic economic event. An AI-induced recession would combine a number of brewing themes for the Swedish tech group. Siemiatkowski's comments come as the group reported widening credit losses, which rose by 17% to $136 million last year. Siemiatkowski explained the losses as a result of the group taking on more customers, naturally leading to a rise in defaults. On a relative basis, the percentage increase in defaults was small, Siemiatkowski said. The Swede added that because Klarna customers' average indebtedness was £100, they were more likely to pay back their loans compared with typical credit card debt of what he said was £5,000. The typical U.K. credit card holder has an outstanding credit balance closer to around £1,800, while in the U.S., the average is about $6,300. Regardless of the variance, Siemiatkowski says the difference means customers are more likely to pay off their Klarna debts. 'We are very unsensitive to macroeconomic shifts. We can still see them, but they're much less profound than if you're a big bank, you have tons of mortgages. And for people to really increase losses, credit losses, what has to happen is people have to lose jobs.' Despite that, predictions of mass layoffs among white-collar workers could inform higher risk for the company's credit business. While there wasn't any sign of a recession currently, Siemiatkowski did observe falling consumer sentiment, which would impact spending. Siemiatkowski's views on AI in the labor force have evolved over time. Speaking to Bloomberg in May, Siemiatowski was reported to have said the company was embarking on a recruitment drive, contrary to his previous statements about a workforce reduction. Speaking with the Times, Siemiatkowski clarified that the company needed different types of workers to handle more complex customer service requests. 'When we started applying AI in our customer service, we realized that there will be a higher value to human connection,' he said. This story was originally featured on

Walmart is using its own fintech firm to provide credit cards after dumping Capital One
Walmart's majority-owned fintech startup OnePay said Monday it was launching a pair of new credit cards for customers of the world's biggest retailer. OnePay is partnering with Synchrony, a major behind-the-scenes player in retail cards, which will issue the cards and handle underwriting decisions starting in the fall, the companies said. OnePay, which was created by Walmart in 2021 with venture firm Ribbit Capital, will handle the customer experience for the card program through its mobile app. Walmart had leaned on Capital One as the exclusive provider of its credit cards since 2018, but sued the bank in 2023 so that it could exit the relationship years ahead of schedule. At the time, Capital One accused Walmart of seeking to end its partnership so that it could move transactions to OnePay. The Walmart card program had 10 million customers and roughly $8.5 billion in loans outstanding last year, when the partnership with Capital One ended, according to Fitch Ratings. For Walmart and its fintech firm, the arrangement shows that, in seeking to quickly scale up in financial services, OnePay is opting to partner with established players rather than going it alone. In March, OnePay announced that it was tapping Swedish fintech firm Klarna to handle buy now, pay later loans at the retailer, even after testing its own installment loan program. In its quest to become a one-stop shop for Americans underserved by traditional banks, OnePay has methodically built out its offerings, which now include debit cards, high-yield savings accounts and a digital wallet with peer-to-peer payments. OnePay is rolling out two options: a general-purpose credit card that can be used anywhere Mastercard is accepted and a store card that will only allow Walmart purchases. Customers whose credit profiles don't allow them to qualify for the general-purpose card will be offered the store card, according to a person with knowledge of the program. OnePay didn't yet disclose the rewards expected with the cards, though the general-purpose card is expected to provide a stronger value, said this person, who declined to be identified speaking ahead of the product's release. The Synchrony partnership was reported earlier by Bloomberg. "Our goal with this credit card program is to deliver an experience for consumers that's transparent, rewarding, and easy to use," OnePay CEO Omer Ismail said in the Monday release. "We're excited to be partnering with Synchrony to launch a program at Walmart that checks each of those boxes and will help serve millions of people," Ismail said.
