In addition to Synchrony, Contender is also pleased to offer Klarna for flexible payment plans, further enabling cyclists to buy now–and pay later. More commonly used for smaller purchases, Klarna affords cyclists the option to split purchases into 4 interest-free payments. If paid in full within 30 days or via 4 payments, there is 0% interest on the purchase.
To leverage Klarna, on the checkout page scroll down to the Payment section and select “Klarna–Flexible Payments.” From there, you will be taken to the Klarna website for credit approval, and to complete your purchase.
