Sure, but so do credit cards in largely the same degree. But there's a lot less moral outrage about credit cards

Predatory lending is a specific kind of targeted, exploitative lending. The form it takes is irrelevant (See below). And 2 wrongs don't make a right, but 3 lefts do.

- Credit cards with absurd fees and rates

- Payday lending

- Point-of-purchase loans

Having a credit card allowed me to cancel my non-savings account and not pay bank fees. I use my credit card to pay for everything and then pay the credit card from my savings account. They are so dumb lol.
If you had a decent enough credit rating, there would be no need to use klarna as you’d already have credit on better terms.

You clearly don’t get it pal.

Oh really? Not in my neighborhood.
