Klarna arrives in Ireland and launches Pay in 3 offering
Buy now, pay later giant Klarna officially launches in Ireland today.
Irish consumers will be able to shop online and split their purchases into three interest free equal payments (Pay in 3) through both the Klarna app and directly via integrated partner retailers.
Sebastian Siemiatkowski, Klarna’s Co-founder and CEO, says: “Ireland is a really exciting market for us, as people turn away from credit cards. As the older style financial institutions exit the market we’re here to create more competition, which is in the best interest of the consumer.”
“We believe that everyone deserves a better way to shop and pay, with more control, choice and flexibility. Traditional high cost models like credit cards are built on charging interest and late fees to the rest. That’s why we offer flexible, transparent and fair payment options without charging interest or fees.”
Lee McNamara, E-commerce Manager at Gym + Coffee, comments: “We’re thrilled to partner with Klarna and offer payment options that make it easier for our consumers to purchase with confidence.”
“This sort of flexibility, convenience and financial control that paying with Klarna brings is the future of retail and we’re excited to be at the forefront of this shopping revolution.”
