In Sweden (the home of Klarna) you've been able to pay for your DoorDash equivalent using Klarna for ages now, and I've never heard of any backlash or even anybody questioning it. If you can pay by credit card, why not Klarna? I'm surprised that in the US, the credit card Mecca of the world, this even moves the needle.
edit: In fact if I was more conspiratorial, I might suggest that this 'backlash' was orchestrated behind the scenes by Master Card and Visa to protect their market share.
- bl4ckneon 2y agoWhen I first heard of this I thought it was kinda crazy, who would do a payment plan to get some overpriced takeout delivered food. But like you pointed out, it's more or less the same as a credit card, which I didn't even think of. I guess credit cards are so normalized and has the option to pay it all off at once. Good point!
