Can Klarna help improve my credit rating?

abbycb

Hi all
Newbie here looking for advice. I am trying to improve my credit rating, and I'm going through the advised steps, but I wondered if doing a payment instalment plan on a purchase with Klarna would be another thing that could work in my favour? I thought it would prove I am reliable etc, but I can't find anything online suggesting it's a good idea. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the forum 

I don't **think** that Klarna report your BNPL account conduct to the Credit Reference Agencies.  So, whether you manage the account well or not, should not impact on how your are viewed by lenders.

Maybe someone else, who uses Klarna, can confirm whether or not they report account conduct to the CRAs.

Your credit rating is only seen by yourself only.

They report to TransUnion, but not the other two I believe.
