Couldn't have happened to a nicer company.
Anecdotally, Klarna is the company that bought StoCard, an app for scanning and storing loyalty cards, and replaced it with their own app. I personally liked StoCard and found the microloan bloat of Klarna to be unbearable.
I realize that's not as serious a charge as the predatory microloans themselves, but it does give me some measure of personal satisfaction to read about their self-inflicted wounds.
Dang. I liked stocard. It’s still installed and I’ve been using it. Sigh. Time to change it out.
Interesting that you were still using StoCard. Some months ago the app broke for me and directed me to download Klarna. My info had been migrated over and everything.
I promptly found a new loyalty card app (SuperCards) once I saw the microloans and other unnecessary garbage in Klarna.
Really? It stopped working? I was just using it today. Started converting to a catina thingy though so if it breaks no big loss.
