Klarna announced a new partnership with Aven Hospitality. The agreement brings Klarna's flexible payment options to the 10,000 hotels connected to Aven Hospitality's Booking Engine, offering travelers more choice and their favorite payment method. "Hotel stays are among the largest expenses travelers book in a single transaction, and until now, the default way to pay has been to put it on a credit card and carry a revolving balance," said David Sykes, Chief Commercial Officer at Klarna. "With Klarna integrated into Aven's Booking Engine, travelers can pay in full, split the cost into interest-free installments, or choose longer-term financing - real flexibility, from the moment they book."

Klarna announces a new partnership with Mindfactory, Germany's leading gaming retailer. The collaboration brings Klarna's payment options to Mindfactory's online checkout.

"Mindfactory has built one of the most recognised brands in gaming retail. Together, we're making sure their customers get a smooth, hassle-free checkout experience, backed by Klarna's built-in tools that help customers stay in control of their finances," said Nico Schenck, Head of Germany at Klarna.

Building on a successful collaboration already established in other European markets, the expansion brings Klarna's payment options to Douglas customers across Southern Europe. Shoppers in Italy and Spain will now have access to Klarna at checkout, including the option to split purchases into interest-free installments.
