Klarna’s Post

We're thrilled to announce the launch of our 'Financial Takeaway' series, featuring the beloved UK TV chef Big Zuu and finance expert Bola Sol. This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to break down financial language barriers in the UK, at a time when understanding money matters is crucial, but challenging for many. Our recent research shows that: 📚 40% of Brits find learning financial terms harder than mastering a new language, with the younger generation feeling the most pressure. 📉Over £6 billion is lost annually due to misunderstandings of financial terms. This isn't just about money; it's about empowering individuals with the confidence to make informed decisions and take control of their financial futures. To tackle this, our ‘Financial Takeaway’ series aims to demystify three of the most commonly misunderstood terms, helping to make understanding financial jargon easier to swallow.

🚀💡 Reality check, Germany! Debt myths busted! It's time to rethink the narrative: German youth aren't reckless spenders—they're savvy, conscious, and more aware of potential debt than generations before. Our #Klarnaschulden survey shows Gen Z is leading the way in responsible financial behavior, with 55% paying bills within 24 hours. Nearly 84% of Germans only spend the money they have, having an extremely high payment morale with 76% paying open bills within a week. Gen Z is more aware of debt consequences than any other generation, with 61% feeling guilty about reminders. But this isn't just about numbers—it's about shifting our perspective on financial responsibility across generations. Discover the full story at https://klarnaschulden.de/

💡 How can we empower consumers to make the best financial decisions? By investing in financial education! Great to see that the German government is taking action. We're incredibly excited to be part of the initiative to create a financial education strategy in Germany. This initiative is a powerful collaboration between the German Ministry of Finance (Bundesministerium der Finanzen) and the Ministry of Education and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung), supported by the OECD - OCDE. At a recent workshop, we had the opportunity to share our insights on sustainable lending. These insights, combined with those of other brilliant minds, will shape the future of financial education. Klarna is leading the way in transparency. It’s part of our commitment to improving the financial well-being of consumers globally. We've put this commitment into action: ✅ Clear repayment plans and thorough checks on each consumer's ability to repay before every transaction. ✅ If a payment is missed, we restrict our services to prevent further debt. ✅ Our approach works: 99% of our transactions are repaid, 62% of our customers even repay early. #FinancialEducation #SustainableLending #CustomerFirst
