Klarna

Klarna was founded in 2005 in Stockholm, Sweden, with the aim of making online shopping easier. Over the past 19 years, technology has evolved, driven and transformed the world around us, but our mission remains as relevant as ever: to make payment as simple, transparent and secure as possible.

Klarna is now one of Europe's largest banks and provides payment solutions to 85 million consumers through more than 575,000 merchants in 26 countries. Klarna offers direct payments, post-delivery payment options, and installment payment plans, all with a one-click shopping experience that lets consumers pay when and how they want.

The company's acquisition of SOFORT in 2014 gave birth to the Klarna Group. Klarna is backed by investors including Sequoia Capital, Bestseller, Permira, Visa and Atomico.
