Klarna
klarna.com
Klarna is a financial technology company that provides flexible payment solutions, primarily focusing on 'Buy Now, Pay Later' (BNPL) options for online and in-store purchases. They offer a credit card that allows users to choose how they pay for each purchase, including splitting costs into interest-free installments. Klarna also provides a shopping app with features like cashback, price comparison, and loyalty card management.
Rationale
Klarna is a strong match for the 'Stripe Payment Platform' concept, particularly in its core offering of flexible payment solutions for consumers and businesses. While it doesn't offer the same deep developer API integration as Stripe, it provides payment processing, recurring billing (through its 'Pay in 4' and 'Pay over time' options), and fraud prevention. It also supports global payments and has a mobile app for management. The 'For business' section explicitly mentions payment solutions for retailers, including integration with platforms like Stripe, which further solidifies its role in the payment ecosystem. The primary difference is Klarna's focus on 'Buy Now, Pay Later' (BNPL) and consumer financing, rather than being a pure payment gateway for all transaction types like Stripe.
