Klarna Ghost Card Payment

Klarna Ghost Card Review

Klarna is a popular “pay later” service which lets you buy goods online and pay for them later though instalments. The best bit? The instalments are completely interest free which mean there are no hidden fees or extra charges. As long as you pay on time.

The Klarna ghost card is a “virtual” card which you can access via the Klarna mobile app. Just to be clear this is not a physical card. Instead with every purchase you are given a unique card number and payment details in the app. Once you have these details you can use them to checkout at any online store.

For more information Klarna has created a useful video below which I recommend you watch.

How does Klarna ghost card work

With the Klarna ghost card you can purchase any item online and pay for it in 4 instalments instead of the full amount. This is great for large purchases on Amazon or even for travel purchases. The big advantage of a Klarna purchase is that these 4 split payments are 100% interest free.The following five steps will show you how Klarna works and how you can start spreading the cost of your purchases today.

  4. You will then be given a one time card number with a valid expiry date. Your billing address should be the same as the address you have on file with Klarna.

What if my Klarna ghost card is not approved?
