Millions of eligible shoppers can now choose Klarna at checkout online and in-app using their iPhone and iPad, or in-store using their iPhone, and this innovative capability delivers even more convenience, control, and transparency to even more customers.

The continued expansion follows strong consumer adoption and momentum in Denmark, Spain, Sweden, the U.S., UK and Canada, where Klarna’s flexible payment options have become a popular way to pay with Apple Pay. With today’s launch, consumers across eight major markets can now choose to shop with Klarna through Apple Pay’s simple and secure experience, and consumers have more choice and flexibility in how they can pay.
