The news sent Affirm's share price up nearly 20% in afternoon trading to over $133 a share.

The company went public in January at $49 a share but has since soared thanks to the BNPL craze and a recent deal with Amazon.

Target shoppers will be able to use Affirm to pay for purchases of over $100 in monthly instalments.

Smaller rival Sezzle will be offered as an option to split purchases into four interest-free payments over six weeks.

Gemma Kubat, president, financial and retail services, Target, says: “We know our guests want easy and affordable payment options that work within their family’s budget.”
