Furnish Your Way: Article Brings Klarna’s Flexible Payments to Furniture Shoppers

New collaboration taps into growing demand for flexible payments as consumers make bigger home purchases online TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Klarna, the global digital bank and flexible payments provider, today announced a new partnership with Article, a leading modern furniture brand offering thoughtfully designed pieces at great prices. The collaboration brings Klarna’s flexible payment options to Article’s online checkout across the U.S. and Canada giving shoppers more control when purchasing high-value furniture and décor.

Home essentials is one of Klarna’s fastest-growing categories in North America, as consumers increasingly turn to flexible payments for big-ticket home purchases like sofas, dining sets, and bedroom furniture. With the average price of an Article sofa around $1,500, the partnership reflects broader consumer demand for payment flexibility on larger purchases.

With Klarna now available at checkout, Article customers can choose to pay in full, split purchases into four interest-free payments, or finance larger orders over time, making it easier to invest in quality pieces while staying in control of how they pay.

“Furniture is one of the most considered purchases consumers make online, and flexibility matters,” said Steven Clarke, Head of Klarna Canada. “By partnering with Article, we’re meeting consumers at the moment they’re making meaningful investments in their homes, while continuing to expand Klarna’s momentum in the furniture category.”

Partnering with Klarna gives our customers clear, flexible payment options that put them in control, so they can furnish their homes with confidence.”
