3. You disclose the provision for credit losses increased due to higher GMV compared to the prior year and changes to consumer underwriting. To the extent possible, please May 30, 2025 Page 2

revise to quantify the impacts of each factor on results. You state the provision was 20.3% and 14.6% of total revenue in 2024 and 2023, respectively. Tell us why you believe it is meaningful to compare the provision to total revenue rather to revenues derived from extending credit to consumers to which the provision pertains. Finally, tell us your consideration of whether these changes represent known trends or uncertainties that may unfavorably impact you results of operations, profitability, cash flows, and financial condition, or are reasonably likely to cause a material change in the relationship between costs and revenues.

After consulting with your auditors, please tell us your understanding of why they did not disclose a critical audit matter in their auditors' report for the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and ask them to modify their auditors' report to state there were no critical audit matters accordingly.

7. Please describe for us the entities you refer to as partners and affiliates and from whom you earn interchange fees, promotional incentives, gateway fees, and marketing revenue.
