Popular buy-now-pay-later company Afterpay has just been acquired by US company Square in the largest deal in Australian history.

The deal was announced on Monday morning whereby Square will acquire all Afterpay shares by way of a recommended Scheme of Arrangement said to be worth around $39billion.

"By combining with Square, we will further accelerate our growth in the U.S. and globally, offer access to a new category of in-person merchants, and provide a broader platform of new and valuable capabilities and services to our merchants and consumers,” said Mr Eisen and Mr Molnar. The buy-now-pay-later company was founded in 2014 and listed on the Australian Stock Exchange in 2016 and has rocketed from a few dollars a share to highs of over $150 per share.
