„We are overwhelmed by the anticipation for the Klarna Card launching in the US. Over 1 million early birds have already signed to our waitlist!„, the company says.
The Klarna Card will bring the company’s popular “Pay in 4” service to a physical VISA card form issued by WebBank, empowering consumers to pay over time in four payments for any in-store or online purchase.
“US consumers are paying $120 billion in interest payments and fees on credit cards alone every year. The Klarna Card provides consumers with a real alternative to high-cost credit cards and lets them take the power of ‘Pay in 4’ everywhere they go,” said Sebastian Siemiatkowski, Klarna’s Co-Founder and CEO. “Following successful launches in Sweden, Germany and most recently the UK, where the waitlist drew over 450,000 consumers within days, we know how strong the demand is for fair and transparent alternatives to conventional card offerings, and can’t wait to bring the Klarna Card to millions of US consumers.”
The Klarna Card will be available to US consumers in the very near future, and comes amid Klarna’s rapid growth in the US, which continues to be Klarna’s fastest-growing market. Over the past year, Klarna’s US customer base has grown by over 70%, reaching 25 million consumers.
The company’s product and service offerings in the market also continue to strengthen, fuelled by the success of the Klarna App which has over 6 million US monthly active users.
Klarna announced on February 17, 2022 the opening of the waitlist for Klarna Card to US consumers.
