Klarna is popular for its online buy now, pay later model and the fintech company is now introducing a physical payment card called the Klarna Card that may be used for in-store payments in the UK. This card gives shoppers access to Klarna's Pay in 30 delayed payment option, which means that consumers can pay for their purchase up to 30 days after purchase.
This physical shopping card offers a new approach to credit and Klarna identifies that it offers the "flexibility to pay later for purchases everywhere, without the inherent risks of interest and revolving credit." The Klarna Card empowers consumers with more control, transparency and freedom of choice over how they pay—this means clear payment schedules, no interest and no late fees.
