Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Consumers approved at the high end of Klarna's APR range (35.99%) will pay substantially more for financed purchases than those at 0% APR — for a $1,000 loan, this means up to $353.52 per month versus $333.33, with total interest costs compounding over the loan term.

What you can do
