Klarna scores Apple Pay tie-up, leveling the playing field with Affirm

The news: Klarna is now available as a checkout option on Apple Pay in the US and UK, per a press release.

  • Apple Pay users can pay with Klarna’s interest-free Pay in 4 offering for purchases between $35 and $2,000. They can also use Klarna’s longer-term, interest-bearing loans for bigger-ticket items.
  • The tie-up will expand to Canada in the coming months.

How this helps Klarna: Scoring this digital wallet integration is a huge volume opportunity for the BNPL player.
