What it is

If you use the Klarna Card to move a purchase to installments or split it into payments, a fixed 28.99% annual interest rate applies to that balance, regardless of your creditworthiness.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Every time you use the Klarna Card's 'move' or 'split' feature, you will be charged 28.99% APR on that balance — this is not a variable or introductory rate, and there is no opt-out once the transaction is moved or split.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Dispute a Fee
    If you were not clearly informed of the 28.99% APR before moving or splitting a Klarna Card transaction, contact Klarna customer service to dispute the interest charge and request disclosure documentation.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

28.99% APR is a fixed rate with no promotional or lower-rate option for Klarna Card moved/split transactions, which is above the national average APR for credit cards and creates predictable but high interest costs for users who split purchases.

** 28.99% APR applies to all moved or split transactions.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: The Klarna Card is issued by WebBank pursuant to a Visa license, making this an open-end consumer credit product subject to Regulation Z (12 CFR Part 1026), specifically the periodic statement and change-in-terms disclosure requirements under 12 CFR §1026.7 and §1026.9. The fixed 28.99% APR disclosure must appear on the Schumer Box (12 CFR §1026.60) pre-account opening. The CARD Act (15 U.S.C. §1666i-1) limits retroactive rate increases but does not cap rates on new transactions. (2)
