Klarna, the global payments network and shopping assistant, has launched flexible payment options for Zoom Workplace, allowing users across the U.S. and several European countries – including Germany – to access Zoom’s premium services with added financial flexibility. This initiative aims to make digital collaboration more affordable and accessible for businesses and individuals.
Customers in 16 countries can now manage their Zoom Workplace subscriptions through Klarna, with Pay Now available in all markets and Pay Later options in the U.S., Sweden, and Germany. Expanded features and additional markets are planned for 2025, extending both Klarna’s and Zoom’s reach in the digital-first work environment.
David Sykes, Chief Commercial Officer at Klarna noted: “We want Klarna at every checkout, available everywhere, for everything, all the time. By offering flexible payment options with Zoom Workplace, we’re bringing that vision closer, empowering users to access premium collaboration tools without upfront costs and expanding Klarna’s reach across multiple markets.”
Wendy Bergh, General Manager, Online Business at Zoom added: “We’re excited to team up with Klarna to offer greater financial flexibility to our customers. Removing the burden of upfront costs will allow our customers to focus on what truly matters in their lives or businesses while benefiting from Zoom’s AI-first work platform. This is another example of how Zoom remains committed to meeting customers where they are.”
This initiative is set to drive growth for Klarna as more users turn to its payment solutions for accessing Zoom’s premium services, broadening both platforms’ ecosystems. With the global subscription market anticipated to reach $1.5 trillion by 2025, Klarna’s payment flexibility is crucial for businesses adopting subscription models, establishing Klarna as a strategic partner for scaling companies. Zoom joins other major brands like Airbnb and Uber in offering Klarna’s services across multiple countries.
*Launch markets include: U.S., U.K., Sweden, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Poland.
