BNPL firms Klarna and Afterpay are set to become payment options on Google Pay in the US.
Starting next year, Klarna’s integration with Google Pay will allow consumers in the US to access interest-free installments on purchases beginning at $35, along with various financing options. Shoppers can manage their purchases through the Klarna app, where they can track deliveries, handle returns, and manage repayments all in one location.
Google has also partnered with Block-owned Afterpay, offering another payment option for consumers when checking out online through Google Pay at select merchants. Drew Olson, senior director of Google Pay, stated, “By teaming up with pay over time providers, we are able to give Google Pay users more payment options at checkout while providing merchants with another tool to drive growth.”
