Klarna’s payment system is designed as an alternative to traditional credit cards, incorporating strong guardrails to promote responsible spending.  

Before approving each purchase, Klarna assesses the consumer’s eligibility and provides a transparent instalment plan with reminders to ensure timely repayments.  

It is claimed that this approach is effective with 99% of Klarna’s lending repaid and 40% of orders settled ahead of schedule. 

Klarna Western and Southern Europe UK & Ireland head Raji Behal said: “This is massive news for lovers of high tech and haters of hidden fees and high interest. Now consumers can spread the cost of their tech essentials without paying record high interest to the big banks.”

Lenovo EMEA eCommerce director and GM Angus Cormie said: “This partnership means that our customers can spread the cost of Lenovo’s AI-enable and optimised devices, from powerful workstations to portable laptops, in easy-to-manage, interest-free instalments.”
