Specifically, the self-incrimination refers to revolving, ie in fact always unlimited, expensive loans and to the &#8220;Pay in month X&#8221; function, which has so far allowed customers to delay the repayment of loans for a fee.

The announced overdue changes will be communicated in a memo as the new financial industry standard.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.klarna.com\/international\/press\/klarna-verpflichtet-sich-zu-kundenfreundlichen-produktanderungen-mit-dem-ziel-neue-standards-in-der-finanzindustrie-zu-setzen\/?mc_cid=f015705431&amp;mc_eid=9ec812cd2e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>-&gt; Further information&lt; &#8211;<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a statement published the day before yesterday, the Swedish payment provider Klarna, which is viewed critically by customers, merchants, financial regulators and consumer advocates because of its business model, admitted that it had been charging &#8220;unnecessary fees&#8221; in the German market for years, among&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[93],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19371","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-generally"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
