Klarna acquired SOFORT in 2014, turning it into one of the largest PSPs in European e-commerce. Today, Klarna accounts for 10% of total e-commerce payments in Northern Europe.
Klarna offers both immediate and pay-later options for e-commerce purchases, allowing customers to make payments after receiving the purchased items. It also offers an extended credit financing option through which users can make payments in monthly installments for up to 36 months. Klarna acts as a mediator between merchants and buyers and assumes the fraud and credit risk involved in transactions. To offer enhanced convenience, Klarna also offers an interest-free installment payment option, enabling customers to pay in four equal installments using a debit or credit card.
In November 2017, Klarna partnered with Nordic-based PSP Nets to provide its customers with a pay-later solution at physical stores throughout the Nordic region.
In June 2017, it received a full banking license from Sweden’s financial supervisory authority, allowing it to offer banking products and services. Following this, Klarna announced the launch of the Klarna Visa debit card for in-store and online payments in July 2018.
