Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

Totally loving Klarna and their payment options. The option to pay over time without outrageous interest rates and 0% options has been very helpful for someone like me on a budget. Would highly recommend to anyone and will continue to use.
The Maestro 55
I’m really frustrated that I’m not able to use my refund from Ashley to my entire balance owed in the Klarna app. I was able to use it for my November payment but because the remaining credit is less than my December payment, the app is not allowing me to use the credit.
Chasity4Life
Please offer more payment options, for example, other amounts. That way if customers want, they can pay a little bit more of what’s due out of the total amount that is left to pay.
