About Klarna
The delayed payout next to the card settlement.
Klarna is a Swedish fintech founded in 2005 in Stockholm by Sebastian Siemiatkowski, Niklas Adalberth and Victor Jacobsson. It started as a way for small Swedish webshops to let a customer pay after delivery, grew across Europe through the 2010s, launched in the United States in 2015 and went public on the New York Stock Exchange in September 2025 under the ticker KLAR at a valuation around 17 billion dollars. The group serves roughly 114 million active consumers and around 850 thousand merchants across 26 markets. In Sweden, Klarna holds a banking licence and is supervised by Finansinspektionen, the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority.
Klarna is a different payment rail than a card processor. A Visa or Mastercard charge clears within days against the shopper's own bank; a Klarna checkout means Klarna pays the merchant up front and collects from the consumer later, through Pay in 30, Pay in 4 or longer financing. That is why Klarna's merchant fee sits higher than a card fee and why the payout on the bank is a single netted line with a 2 to 3 business-day delay after capture. Our connector exposes the two tables Peliqan pulls: Settlement Payouts and Settlement Transactions. It is a narrow slice, purpose-built for reconciling the BNPL payout against the order, the invoice and the card-side totals next to it. Consumer-app behaviour and Klarna Card lifestyle data sit outside this scope.
