Q4 business update
Earlier this month, Zip declared that Sezzle (ASX:SZL) and Zip had mutually decided to halt the intended acquisition of Sezzle by Zip due to the macroeconomic and market circumstances at the time.
Despite growth being restrained by a decline in consumer sentiment and adjustments to risk settings, Zip continues to generate good top line metrics with strong performance throughout its consumer operations in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and the Rest of the World.
