About Klarna
Klarna is the Swedish payments company founded in Stockholm in 2005, known for pay-later and instalment options at online checkouts. Klarna uses one-time codes sent by SMS to log customers in to the Klarna app and to confirm purchases, so the code is the key to the account, its purchase history and open payment plans.
Why You Should Not Use a Public Number With Klarna
Klarna accounts are tied to a person's identity and can include payment details. If the login code for such an account is visible to others, they could open the account and see personal data. Our free numbers are not intended for financial accounts, so use your own phone number for Klarna.
What This Page Is Useful For
The public Klarna inbox is a reference for recognising genuine messages. Klarna states that it will never ask for your code by phone or SMS. If someone calls claiming to be from Klarna and asks you to read out a code you just received, end the call: the code is meant only for the Klarna app or checkout page you opened yourself.
Testing Checkout Flows
Online shops that offer Klarna can use Klarna's test environment with test credentials instead of real accounts. To check how SMS verification from other services behaves in your shop's sign-up flow, our free numbers are useful, as long as no real payment details are involved.
Protecting Your Personal Data
Buy-now-pay-later services know your name, address and purchase history. Keep the phone number and email on your Klarna account private, and check notifications directly in the Klarna app rather than through links in messages.
