Klarna cardholders across Europe and the US can now add their card to a growing range of devices and pay with a tap, anywhere contactless payments are accepted. More markets and card programs are rolling out over the coming months, extending our reach even further. As Mattias Eld, CEO and Co-founder of Fidesmo, puts it: payments are becoming invisible — embedded in the devices people already wear and carry. Klarna is one of the most forward-thinking financial brands in the world, and this is exactly the kind of partnership that signals where the industry is heading.
But this launch is about more than one partnership. It marks a significant expansion of Fidesmo Pay’s global market presence — and reinforces something we’ve been saying to OEMs from day one: offering contactless payments no longer has to be a complex, time-consuming journey. Fidesmo Pay makes it seamless, scalable, and fast to market, regardless of form factor. Whether the device is a smartwatch, a ring, a wristband, or something altogether new — we deliver.
What makes this go-live particularly meaningful is what it represents for the end consumer. Ana De La Fuente, Product Manager for Fidesmo Pay, has been working with Klarna to making this happen: “When we talk about going live with Klarna, we’re not talking about a technical integration — we’re talking about giving consumers the right experience at the moment they want to pay. That has always been the goal.” Getting Klarna live has been a milestone Fidesmo has worked towards for a long time. Seeing it in the hands of users is a reminder of why the work matters.
Klarna now joins a network of 900+ banks and card programs across 40+ countries already live on Fidesmo Pay, alongside some of the world’s most innovative device brands. The network keeps growing — and so does our ambition.
More markets. More cards. More devices. Watch this space.
