Maybe you shouldn't order a private taxi for your burrito if you need interest free installments to pay for it

Maybe you should look into car affordability in 2025.

Get some ground beef, tortillas, pinto beans, cheese and make 10x the burritos for the same cost.
Maybe we need a strong currency instead of goy bucks https://t.co/E4mSMLWsN3

This seems like a weird legal scheme to get around credit card regulations and the only people that would use it are the defaultiest of defaulters. I don't get how this makes money.

Think of it like the Happy Dude telemarketing thing from the Simpsons, except it's payments exceeding the purchase price on shit that wouldn't have been purchased in the first place.
You get as many people as possible to click a button that says "I'm an r-slur and I'll pay you $75 in exchange for $25 now." Then front the $25 and have an army of Indians harass them for the remaining $50.

The bet is that enough people will pay for the late fees (as opposed to interest) to make up the difference. Klarna's entire business idea is that poors are too stupid to pay in time.

Klarna makes money from merchant fees. They charge DoorDash for the service of offering the layaway to their customers.

Layaway is when a business collects money and holds it on account (and the item) until the customer saves the purchase price. It's not financing; it's enforced saving.

They do that too, but it's not their primary source of income.

I'm pretty sure they're only interest-free if you pay it back on time, and as soon as you miss a payment they retroactively charge you interest for the entire duration of the "loan".

Yeah, that's where the majority of their revenue comes from.
