Klarna, the global digital bank and flexible payments provider, is now available as a payment option on Google Pay.
Shoppers can use Klarna’s flexible payment options “online on select Android apps and websites that offer Google Pay at checkout.”
By joining forces with one of the most “widely used digital wallets in the country, Klarna continues to accelerate its growth in the U.S. market.”
This integration builds on Klarna’s commitment “to responsible spending and empowers consumers with more choices in how they shop.”
Klarna’s Pay in 4 payment offering “gives consumers four fixed repayments for purchases over $35, all interest-free.”
Financing is available for higher ticket items “with monthly repayments made over a longer period of time starting at 0% APR.”
David Sykes, Chief Commercial Officer at Klarna said:
“Integrating with Google Pay marks a meaningful step in Klarna’s mission to bring flexible, transparent payments to where consumers already are. Google Pay is already one of the simplest ways to pay – now, with Klarna on Google Pay, we’re adding even more choice and control at checkout. ”
Ben Volk, VP and General Manager, Google Pay and Google Wallet
“People shop on Google more than a billion times per day, and consumers are increasingly looking for more choice and flexibility when it comes to their payment options. By teaming up with pay over time providers like Klarna, we are able to give Google Pay users more payment options when checking out, while providing merchants with another tool to drive growth.”
As covered, Klarna, the global digital bank and flexible payments provider, is entering the mobile market with an unlimited phone plan, paired with Klarna’s signature seamless experience directly in the Klarna app.
Klarna’s unlimited mobile plan launches “first in the U.S. in the coming weeks (join the U.S. waitlist here), with the UK, Germany, and more to follow soon.”
Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO and co-founder of Klarna said:
“Klarna has saved consumers time and money, and reduced financial worry for over 20 years. With mobile plans we’re taking that one step further, as we continue to build our neobank offering. Consumers already know and love Klarna’s super smooth services and now, with one tap in the Klarna app, they’ll be up and running with their new phone plan — no hassle, no hidden fees, just great value.”
Klarna’s research shows that half of Americans believe “switching phone plans is too difficult.”
With over 25 million active U.S. users and a Net Promoter Score of 81, Klarna is positioned to “shake up the telecom industry by offering plans with no hidden fees, flexible contracts, and a smooth set-up experience.”
Switching to Klarna’s unlimited plan “is effortless, users can transfer their existing number (or get a new one), and activate their phone plan in just a few taps within the Klarna app.”
No phone calls, paperwork, or store visits required.
With nationwide coverage, competitive pricing, no data throttling, and instant activation, Klarna will now “offer consumers exactly what they expect from their carrier.”
Klarna’s mobile plans are powered by Gigs, the “operating system for mobile services, and launches with one simple plan, including uncapped, unlimited 5G data, talk, and text for $40/month, with coverage on the AT&T network.”
