They're also all in on AI (red flag) and when I stupidly used their "credit" feature a few years ago they sold that loan to a third-party without telling me who then, since they bought the loan agreement and were free to do so, claimed I missed a payment and forced me to pay for another 6 months of the agreement. When I asked Klarna about this random company claiming I owed them the exact same amount k happened to owe Klarna, they at first said they didn't and wouldn't sell the loan, then later said that they had.

Shady as fuck business. Is it on me for using them and their credit service? Sure. Is it a bad look when businesses do things that are technically legal but screw over customers? Absolutely!

The biggest surprise in this news is that Klarna has any revenue. Most banks offer the same service these days.
