Klarna has expanded its flexible payment offerings to Apple Pay users in France and Italy, allowing millions of eligible shoppers to utilize Klarna’s payment options online, in-app, and in-store via their iPhone and iPad devices.
This expansion follows a period of consumer adoption and momentum in Denmark, Spain, Sweden, the U.
S., UK, and Canada, where Klarna’s flexible payment options have been integrated with Apple Pay. With this launch, consumers across eight major markets now have access to Klarna’s payment services through Apple Pay.
Sebastian Siemiatkowski, Co-founder and CEO of Klarna, stated, “By delivering this innovative capability to even more users and expanding to France and Italy, millions more people can choose the payment schedule that works best for them — all within the Apple Pay experience they already know and love.”
Eligible customers can divide purchases into three interest-free monthly installments or opt to pay up to 30 days later, also interest-free. For higher-value transactions, customers can extend payments over a longer period with interest rates starting from 0%. To use Klarna on Apple Pay, customers select Klarna at checkout and tap ‘Pay Later’ to view available options. Klarna applies its underwriting process before approval to ensure responsible lending practices. Payments made with Klarna via Apple Pay are secured and private, with Apple not retaining transaction information linked to the user.
Klarna, a global digital bank and flexible payments provider, serves over 114 million active consumers worldwide and processes 3.4 million transactions daily. The company aims to provide alternative payment solutions at various checkout points.
