Pay with Klarna
Introducing Klarna On The Expert Camper– the safe, flexible way to pay
The Expert Camper is excited to offer this new way to pay. Klarna provides flexibility for you to ‘Pay Later in 30 Days’ or to ‘Pay in 3 Interest-Free Instalments’.
Of course, you still are able to pay us at the point of order, but we have introduced Klarna to give flexibility to customers for purchases.
The Expert Camper is not a lender and acts only as an introducer. The credit product is provided by Klarna Bank AB (publ). Credit is only available to permanent UK residents aged 18 and over, depending on their status. Terms and conditions apply. Please note that Pay in 30 days and Pay in 3 instalments are not regulated by the FCA.
As this is debt, if you can not afford the repayments please don’t use Klarna. Klarna should only be used to help spread the costs of items you can afford to pay.
Failure to pay can result in your credit score being affected and the company chasing you for any outstanding balances. This might affect your ability to get future credit either through them or other third parties.
While we offer Klarna as a payment option, we would not recommend it.
