Verifone head of alternative payments Jeremy Belostock said: “Klarna is particularly interesting and unique in that merchants will have access to new, larger revenue opportunities through its flexible payment options, and Klarna comes with simple settlement functionality for the merchant.
“We have removed the complexity for merchants. Retailers of all sizes have seen massive success with Klarna online, and with Verifone, they will see the same success in store.”
Klarna chief commercial officer Luke Griffiths said: “We are excited to partner with Verifone as one of the largest and most impactful players in the in-store space, and also being the first buy now, pay later provider on millions of devices.
“Together we will support retailers globally in creating a superior and more seamless shopping experience for consumers in-store.”
