Those who pay with Klarna’s Visa card should expect additional costs. The Swedish payment service provider is linking the use of its credit card to a paid membership. The change affects both existing and new customers. The cheapest option costs 4.99 euros per month. Annually, that’s 59.88 euros.

Membership Becomes a Requirement

Klarna is currently informing existing users via email about the upcoming change. Those who wish to continue using the credit card will need a paid subscription. The cheapest package is called “Klarna Everywhere” and costs 4.99 euros monthly or 59.88 euros annually.

The adjustment is not entirely unexpected. As early as the terms published at the end of August 2026, the company announced that a paid membership would be required for the use of the credit function.

Who Might Benefit from the Fee

Whether the annual costs are worthwhile depends, according to the information provided, on how extensively the additional features offered are used. Those who have only used the card as an additional Visa card can forgo the membership.

According to Klarna’s email, users can try “Klarna Everywhere” or “Plus” for free until November 6, 2026. After that, the membership can be canceled through the Klarna account.
