Klarna
Buy now, later
Klarna is a Swedish financial technology company that offers "buy now, pay later" services, allowing consumers to split purchases into installments or defer payment.
The name has become shorthand for this payment model generally: I'll just Klarna it.
Retailers integrate Klarna at checkout as an alternative to credit cards or immediate payment.
