How does Slice it work?
Spread the cost of your purchase into equal monthly payments with {INTERESTRATE}% interest. Slice it is a promotional plan on the Klarna Account.
How do I use Slice it?
When you shop online, Klarna’s system reviews each order to determine which payments options are available to you. If Slice it is offered, simply select this option.

be added to your Klarna Account as additional promotional plans.

Can I pay less than the amount owed each month?
You can at any time choose to pay your minimum payment instead of your interest-saver payment. Your monthly minimum payment is the amount to be paid to avoid incurring late fees on your Klarna Account.
