Klarna is a payment service that lets you split purchases into smaller payments over time instead of paying the full amount upfront. When you buy something online or in a store, you can choose to pay through Klarna rather than using a credit card or debit card. The company handles the full payment to the merchant, then you repay Klarna in installments—sometimes with no interest charges if you pay on schedule.

These articles explain how Klarna works, what happens when you use it to make a purchase, and what you should know about the costs and terms involved. You'll learn the difference between interest-free payment plans and those that charge interest, how late payments affect you, and how to decide whether splitting a purchase makes sense for your situation.
