How does it work Pay in 3 installments without interest?
Paying in 3 installments will allow you to divide the cost of your purchase into 3 equal payments. Payment for each installment will be automatically charged to the credit or debit card you entered at checkout. Your first installment will be charged when Vera and the Birds confirms your order, and installments 2 and 3 are scheduled 30 and 60 days later, respectively. You can always control your scheduled payments in the Klarna app .
Am I eligible for the option Pay in 3 installments without interest?
To use the option Pay in 3 installments without interest you must be at least 18 years old. Although we have promoted this option extensively, Pay in 3 installments is subject to your financial circumstances. If you choose Pay in 3 installments, our evaluation will not affect your credit score.
How can I increase my chances of being eligible to use Pay in 3 Installments?
Klarna is unique in that it offers Pay in 3 installments with no interest based on a number of factors including order value, previous order history and item availability.
If you are 18 years of age or older, you can improve your chances of being offered the Pay in 3 Installments option by ensuring that you provide your full name and accurate address information and ordering shipping to your billing address of record. All orders are evaluated individually. Just because you have been allowed to use a Klarna payment method in the past does not mean that it will be offered to you for every order, just as being denied once does not mean that you will be denied for all future orders.
What do I have to provide when I make a purchase?
If you wish to make a purchase with Klarna using Pay in 3 installments, you will need to provide your mobile phone number, email address, current billing address and a debit card or credit card. Mobile phone number is required in case we need to contact you. All communications will be sent to your email address. It is very important that you provide us with the correct information, otherwise you will not receive your payment schedule or any updated information about the order.
Will I get a credit check?
Klarna can carry out so-called off-record inquiries (or quick credit checks) which do not affect your credit rating and are only visible to you and Klarna, but are not visible to other lenders. Neither Klarna nor Vera and the Birds perform credit checks that may affect your credit score.
Why wasn't I offered the Pay in 3 installments option?
Although we have done a lot of promotion of Pay in 3 installments, this option is not always available globally. The Pay in 3 Installments payment option is automatically generated using algorithms that depend on a number of factors, including address details, cardholder details, order amount, online store, previous order history, and item availability.
What are my payment options with Klarna?
Payment for each installment of Pay in 3 Installments will automatically be charged to the credit or debit card you entered at checkout. The first payment is made when the order is confirmed. The second and third installments are charged 30 and 60 days after the payment of the first installment, respectively. You can always control your scheduled payments in the Klarna app.
What happens if I cancel or return my order?
As soon as Vera and the Birds has accepted your cancellation/refund, Klarna will cancel any future scheduled payments and refund any amounts due. The return will be reflected in the Klarna app instantly.
What happens if I don't pay for my order?
Klarna will attempt to automatically collect payment for your Pay in 3 Installments purchase at Vera and the Birds from the credit or debit card you entered at checkout. If we are unable to collect your payment on the scheduled due date, Klarna will automatically make another attempt to collect the payment two days later. In case this last payment attempt fails, Klarna will send you a statement for the total amount of the pending order, which will be payable within 15 days. Klarna will notify you when a payment is due two days before it tries to collect it, and you can always check the due date in the Klarna app, at your convenience.
