Klarna, the global digital bank and flexible payments provider, today announced it will bring its flexible payment options to Google's Gemini app and Google Search, including AI Mode, via Google Pay in the U.S. For consumers shopping in the Gemini app or Google Search, checkout no longer means just paying with a credit card, or leaving the conversation to pay. Google Pay users will see a Klarna button at checkout, giving them access to flexible payment options including paying in four interest-free installments and longer-term financing for larger purchases.
