Yeah that's why I only put virtual card number with a short expiration date and a locked amount.
Klarna has one-time digital burner cards you can create within the app. Very good for certain situations.
klarna is a shit company for everything else, sadly
They are arguably worse than paypal nowadays, in regards to consumer treatment
How so? I've not seen anything in the news, and they've treated me well so far.
Anything to share regarding that? I'm curious.
It's mostly their "pay later" stuff, which is quite predatory and has horrible terms for the users
But they had trouble with shitty behavior towards customers, employees and bad data privacy in the past as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klarna#Regulation_and_controversies
Interesting, that's quite the list. I suppose that's natural regarding a relatively new form of financial business?
