Does Klarna affect my credit score?
It depends on the payment method or service you choose because we perform different types of searches to check your financial standing.
Klarna performs a soft credit check which does not affect your credit score and will not be visible to other lenders when:
- Deciding to Pay in 4
- Preferring to Pay in 30 days
- Use Monthly financing
A hard credit check is performed, which is reported to the credit bureaus and will show up as an inquiry on your credit report, when:
- Applying for Klarna Financing Account
Our Financing option is offered in partnership with FDIC member WebBank. Credit checks are performed by Transunion and Experian.
