Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial statements. While these consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereof reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements and their accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statement disclosures in our 2024 annual consolidated financial statements.

Operating results reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 might not be indicative of the results for any subsequent period or the entire year ending December 31, 2025.
Sezzle Inc. (the “Company”, “Sezzle”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation We consolidate the accounts of subsidiaries for which we have a controlling financial interest. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all the accounts and activity of Sezzle Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Fair Value
Fair Value

Fair values are based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. an exit price). The accounting guidance includes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

•Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
•Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which include management’s own assumption about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.
Segments
Segments

Segments are components of a company that have discrete financial information available and are regularly evaluated by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to assess performance and decide how resources are allocated. Our Chief Executive Officer is considered to be the CODM, and our operations comprise one reportable segment, primarily deriving revenue from our payment processing platform in North America. Our CODM manages business activities on a consolidated basis and uses consolidated net income, as reported on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, to evaluate financial performance, allocate resources, and monitor budget versus actuals. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets. Significant expenses reviewed by the CODM are the expense line items presented in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. There are no significant concentrations by state or geographical location.
Variable Interest Entity
Variable Interest Entity

Our primary source of funding consumer receivables is through a secured line of credit. We sell a portion of our notes receivable to a wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity (the “SPE”), which then pledges such receivables as collateral for our line of credit. We continue to service all receivables sold and pledged to the SPE. The amount we can borrow under our line of credit is dependent on the amount of eligible, pledged notes receivable we have sold to the SPE. While we serve as a limited guarantor for the SPE and are subject to certain financial covenants, our line of credit provider does not have full recourse against our general credit and may absorb losses in the event of default if the cash receipts related to our pledged notes receivables are not sufficient to repay the outstanding line of credit balance. Refer to Note 7. Line of Credit for more information about our line of credit and the relationship between our line of credit and our notes receivable.

We are required to evaluate the SPE for consolidation, which we have concluded is a VIE. We have the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of our wholly owned SPE. We also have the obligation to absorb losses and the right to proceeds related to the pledged notes receivable in the SPE, exposing us to losses and returns that could potentially be significant. As such, we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the SPE and are required to consolidate the entity as a VIE.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation format. These reclassifications had no effect on our total assets, total equity, net income, total comprehensive income, or cash flows.

We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We will include the enhanced disclosure requirements in our 2025 annual consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
This ASU requires, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the disaggregation of certain expenses within relevant expense captions in tabular format, incremental qualitative disclosures about expenses, and the disclosure of total selling expenses.

ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software
This ASU removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages; instead entities are required to start capitalizing internal-use software and website development costs when both management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended.Year ended December 31, 2028We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

There are additional new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB that we have not yet adopted. We do not believe any of these additional accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Recently Enacted Legislation

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We are currently assessing the impact to our consolidated financial statements.
