Raisin.nl launches Klarna savings products in the Netherlands
Amsterdam/Berlin, 07.10.2021 – Raisin.nl, the Dutch platform of the German fintech in asset management Raisin DS, and Klarna, one of the accumulated agreements in the field of banking, payment and shopping services, have made an exclusive partnership to to bring Klarna Bank’s private savings offer to the Netherlands.
The savings products offered on raisin.nl offer competitive savings rates of up to 0.89% per annum and are therefore an alternative to the Dutch savings market, where zero and even negative interest rates are common. The launch is a logical next step after the collaboration started in Germany last year. Savers can open a Klarna savings account and term deposits with a term of 12 to 48 months that can be called up online completely online via www.raisin.nl.
Wilko Klaassen, general manager of Klarna Belgium, the Netherlands and France says: “In addition to our payment and shopping services, we are continuously developing our banking services. Dutch savers are lacking in savings options, but the demand for savings products with a good interest rate remains high. After our collaboration with Raisin DS in the German market, we are now extending our offer to the next later savings market.”
“The expansion of Klarna into the Dutch savings market is the next step in our success story. It shows that our cooperation is paying off for both parties and that open banking is the future. This is how we reinforce our mission of finding real solutions for savers across Europe,” said Dr. Tamaz Georgadze, co-CEO of Raisin DS.
“After Renault Bank and Nordax, we now offer a third savings account on Raisin.nl with Klarna. RaisinDS is the go-to platform for start-up finance and offerings from savings banks from automotive to full-blown, globally active fintechs,” Georgadze added.
“With Klarna, we have received Raisin DS’ twentieth partner bank in the Netherlands. Klarna’s savings offer offers Dutch savers a bread alternative and it helps us to become the largest pan-European fintech in asset management even faster,” says Eelco Habets, Country Head Netherlands at Raisin DS.
