Our history.

Where it all started

Where it all started.

Klarna has been connecting banks since 2005, when three young Swedish entrepreneurs came up with a brilliant idea and a not-so-brilliant name — Kreditor. Good thing it rebranded as Klarna in 2009.

SOFORT so good.

SOFORT becomes the leading direct bank transfer provider in the DACH region in 2010, helping customers in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, Belgium and The Netherlands ‘pay now’ using their online banking details, leading the way to open banking and PSD2.


Buy now, pay now.

Much more than buy now, pay later.

In 2014 Klarna acquires SOFORT to create the smooothest online payments group.

A new era in Open Banking.

The launch of the Klarna Kosma platform in 2022 further strengthens Klarna's footprint in the open banking space.
