Swedish payments firm Klarna has nearly tripled its valuation to $31 billion in less than six months with a new $1 billion private fundraising round, the company said on Monday.

Klarna Chief Executive Sebastian Siemiatkowski told Reuters he believes there was more opportunity ahead. But investors seem undeterred, and the latest deal caps a meteoric rise in value for Klarna, which completed a $650 million funding round in September from a group of investors led by Silver Lake that valued it at $11 billion.

Klarna has been widely rumoured to be among a number of looming tech company listings, with bankers expecting it to complete a New York initial public offering or a merger with a special purpose acquisition company - a listed vehicle created to bring private companies to market.
