The new plan, Klarna said, will include uncapped 5G service and international roaming for less than $50 monthly.

The company intends to promote the plan directly through its mobile app, allowing customers to sign up, manage their accounts, and keep their existing phone numbers. Klarna also promises no activation or cancellation fees.
This expansion follows Klarna’s recent launch of a debit card and a partnership with DoorDash, enabling installment payments for food deliveries. The company continues to expand its role in the financial services sector.
