Klarna Bank AB’s chief executive officer has indicated the Swedish consumer finance provider may soon list in the US, according to a Bloomberg on Wednesday.

‘It’s very likely that this is going to happen quite soon, but there are no official dates,’ Klarna CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski said in a video interview with BNN Bloomberg in Canada.

Siemiatkowski said the US is a natural choice for an initial public offering, Bloomberg reported, as it is the Klarna’s largest market by revenue.

In November, Klarna incorporated a new UK holding company ahead of a touted stock market debut, according to Sky News, which estimated a flotation value of more than $15 billion. This did not come to fruition.
