Klarna is launching consumer bank accounts in Germany, aiming to provide them with further control of their finances.

The launch marks a first for the company and will allow customers to track, categorize and analyze all of their everyday spendings using the Klarna app.

The company revealed that this offering will be available to a limited number of Klarna’s most loyal consumers to intensively collect and integrate feedback before gradually rolling out to all users across Germany.

Our focus is to provide a superior shopping experience to our consumers at the intersection of retail and banking. And we know that there's still massive room for improvement to the way many people bank and save their money today. Users are demanding more seamless, intuitive, and transparent services to meet their daily needs, but many banks still do not cater for this. We are very excited to introduce Klarna Banking today, bundling shopping and banking in one app and allowing our consumers to bank in the same seamless way as they shop with Klarna
Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of Klarna
