STOCKHOLM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 17, 2026-- Klarna, the global digital bank and payments provider, has partnered with Bolt, the European shared mobility platform, to bring Klarna's payment options directly into the Bolt app. Across Sweden, Germany, Finland and Norway, users can now pay for car rides and scooters with Klarna, with car rentals also available in Germany.

The integration is built on tokenised payments, allowing users to pay through their stored credentials without re-entering details for each trip. In all four markets, customers can choose to pay in full or pay monthly with Klarna.

The rollout is already underway, with full availability across all four markets expected by the end of June 2026.

The partnership brings together two of Europe's largest consumer platforms: Bolt serves more than 200 million customers across over 50 countries, while Klarna has over 119 million active users worldwide. For Klarna, it deepens a growing presence in everyday, high-frequency spending, placing the company at the point of payment for some of the most routine decisions people make in cities, alongside its reach in retail and travel.

"Bolt is where millions of people in our markets decide how to get around each day, and that is exactly where Klarna wants to be," said Björn Bryngelson, Head of Nordics at Klarna. "We are building Klarna into the moments that make up daily life, and few things are more everyday than how you move around your city."

"Whether it's getting to work, meeting friends or catching a train, people use Bolt to get around every day. Paying for those journeys should be just as simple. By adding Klarna, we're giving our customers another convenient way to pay for the transport services they use most often," said Kaspar Loog, Commerce and Payments Group Product Manager at Bolt.
