Pay now or later with the Klarna Card

The Klarna Card gives you the freedom to choose how each purchase works for you.

Use Pay in full for everyday spending straight from your Klarna balance, or decide upfront to pay later when you want to split a larger purchase into installments.⁵

Every purchase becomes an opportunity to pick the payment option you prefer. If you choose credit or financing, interest may apply based on the terms.

Flexibility on every order

Convert to pay over time

If you need more time to pay, Klarna lets you turn a purchase into a financing loan. Start with Pay in 4 and extend to monthly payments.⁶ A soft credit check and eligibility criteria apply.

Group payments

Keeping track of multiple purchases is simple with the Klarna app. Group your payments and clearly see what’s due and when.

Pay early, without penalty

Klarna gives you the freedom to pay early at any time. You will not be charged for paying ahead, whether it is your next installment or your full balance. This option is available for all Klarna purchases in the US.

Multiple funding sources

Klarna supports debit cards, credit cards, linked bank accounts, and digital wallets in the US. With flexible funding options, you can choose what works best for every purchase.
