A new type of payment card has been released in the UK that allows shoppers to take products away from shops like Primark, Lidl and Aldi before paying for them.
Klarna is launching a pre-payment card that will give shoppers greater control, transparency and choice over how they pay, reports Manchester Evening News.
The card launches with Klarna’s Pay in 30, which allows consumers to pay anytime up to 30 days after purchase, with plans to add additional payment options in the future.

According to Klarna, their Pay Later products are 'a fairer and more sustainable alternative to traditional credit', providing payment flexibility with clear payment schedules, no interest and, in the case of Klarna, no late fees.
Alex Marsh, Head of Klarna UK, says: "Consumers are rejecting credit products which charge double-digit interest rates while allowing repayments to be put off indefinitely.
"For online purchases where credit makes sense, buy now pay later has become the sustainable alternative with no interest and clear payment schedules.
"The launch of Klarna Card in the UK brings those benefits to the offline world, giving consumers the control and transparency of BNPL for all of their in store purchases.”
Consumers can sign up to be on the waitlist by tapping ‘Klarna Card’ in the latest version of the Klarna app or from their account here.
