Tekion Adds Klarna Payments Suite to AI Service Scheduler
Tekion has partnered with Klarna, adding new service and repair financing options for dealers using the Tekion Pay feature built into Tekion’s AI-powered Automotive Retail Cloud (ARC) platform.
Klarna’s suite includes Pay in Full, the interest-free Pay in 4 program, and longer-term financing, each of which comes with a repayment schedule and payoff date.
In a release, Klarna Chief Commercial Officer David Sykes notes customers of Tekion-equipped dealerships already interact with ARC to schedule and manage appointments.
“When you’re paying for a repair, you deserve to know exactly what you’re committing to. Klarna gives customers a fixed schedule and a clear payoff date, a straightforward alternative to carrying a revolving credit card balance,” Sykes writes. “Tekion already sits at the center of how thousands of dealerships operate, which makes them the right partner to bring that choice to the service lane at scale.”
