Data source: CFPB Consumer Complaint Database. Data current as of October 8, 2026. View the live CFPB record.

A CFPB complaint means a consumer submitted a complaint against Klarna AB and the company was given a chance to respond — it isn't a lawsuit, a fine, or a verified finding that the company did something wrong. Raw complaint counts also aren't adjusted for company size: a large national company will show more complaints than a small one even if it handles a lower share of its accounts poorly.

30% of Klarna AB's complaints on record are about "problem when making payments" — the single most common issue category.
