NordVPN becomes a new privacy perk for Klarna members

Klarna Premium and Max members can now access NordVPN as part of their existing membership, bringing online privacy and security alongside Klarna’s financial, travel, and lifestyle benefits

NEW YORK, Sept. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NordVPN, a global provider of cybersecurity solutions, has partnered with Klarna, the global digital bank and flexible payments provider, to bring online privacy and security benefits to Klarna Memberships. Through the partnership, eligible members can access NordVPN as an included benefit, adding encrypted connectivity to Klarna’s growing ecosystem of cash back, travel protection, subscriptions, and lifestyle rewards.

The offering is tied directly to Klarna’s membership tiers. Klarna Premium members receive NordVPN Basic, while Klarna Max members receive NordVPN Standard, both included within their existing membership at no additional cost.

The partnership is now live across other Klarna membership tiers: Klarna Plus members will receive a six-month NordVPN Standard free trial, while Klarna Core / Everywhere (depending on the market) members will receive a three-month NordVPN Standard free of charge.

“Online security is becoming part of everyday digital life. People shop, manage their finances, work, communicate, and book travel online, often using different devices and networks throughout the day,” says Kamile Gulbinovic, Head of SEO, Paid and Indirect Sales at NordVPN. “Our partnership with Klarna makes that protection easier to access by bringing NordVPN directly into a membership people already use. It gives members a simple way to take greater control of their privacy and security wherever they connect.”

For professionals and consumers alike, VPN protection has become increasingly relevant as more everyday activities take place online. People routinely connect through shared and public networks in coffee shops, airports, hotels, and other locations, where protecting internet traffic can be particularly important. A VPN encrypts the connection between a device and the internet, helping users keep their online activity more private while browsing, shopping, working, or managing personal information.

NordVPN Basic, available to Klarna Premium members, includes NordVPN’s core VPN protection, with the fast and secure NordLynx protocol, Kill Switch, and post-quantum encryption. It also helps block malicious domains and intrusive ads while connected to the VPN, adding protection against common scams and phishing attempts.

NordVPN Standard, available to Klarna Max members, builds on the VPN protection with enhanced anti-malware and browsing security enabled by NordVPN’s next-generation antivirus tool. It helps block malicious websites and intrusive ads while providing additional real-time protection against malware. Also includes call and message protection for mobile devices.

Both plans can be used on up to 10 devices simultaneously, allowing members to protect their phones, laptops, tablets, and other compatible devices with one NordVPN account.

Klarna Memberships are designed to add real value to everyday life, and digital security is becoming an increasingly important part of that,” says Daniel Lange, Head of Consumer Rewards at Klarna. “By partnering with NordVPN, we’re giving members easier access to trusted online protection as part of a membership they already use.

The collaboration reflects Klarna’s broader strategy of offering tangible, high-value membership benefits at scale while giving customers greater control over their digital lives. By joining Klarna’s financial, travel, and lifestyle benefits, NordVPN brings cybersecurity into the same everyday membership experience — making digital protection easier to access.

Eligible Klarna Premium and Max members can access their NordVPN benefit through their Klarna membership. Availability and specific benefits may vary depending on market and membership tier.
