    Klarna has one-time digital burner cards you can create within the app. Very good for certain situations.

      klarna is a shit company for everything else, sadly

      They are arguably worse than paypal nowadays, in regards to consumer treatment

        How so? I’ve not seen anything in the news, and they’ve treated me well so far.

        Anything to share regarding that? I’m curious.

          It’s mostly their “pay later” stuff, which is quite predatory and has horrible terms for the users

          But they had trouble with shitty behavior towards customers, employees and bad data privacy in the past as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klarna#Regulation_and_controversies

            Interesting, that’s quite the list. I suppose that’s natural regarding a relatively new form of financial business?
