Stockholm, October 23, 2020 - Klarna has acquired Woila AB’s IP and the team at Woilà will be joining Klarna as employees where they will continue to build products leveraging the acquired IP with the goal to improve and reinvent the shopping experience. No users’ personal data was included in the acquisition.  

Woilà was founded in 2017 to improve the shopping experience post purchase. By identifying price drops, price guarantees and vouchers, Woilà helped consumers get money back if an item bought online dropped in price after the purchase had already been made. Woilà processed $50M worth of transactions during 2020 and now the technology will be leveraged by Klarna to further strengthen its value proposition to consumers.
