Karlsruhe, March 31, 2010 - asknet AG, which
recently was ranked as one of Germany´s fastest-growing technology 
companies in Deloitte´s "Technology Fast 50" report, today announces 
its partnership with Klarna AB, a Swedish financial services 
institute.
Since the company was founded in 2005, Klarna has become one of 
Scandinavia´s market leaders in payment solutions for eCommerce. 
Today Klarna has a presence in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, 
Germany and Holland and boasts annual sales revenues of 20 million 
euros. To date eight million transactions have been processed, 
representing a transaction volume of 500 million euros each year. 
Approximately 5,500 online shops utilize Klarna's services, among 
them Scandinavian giants CDON, Dustinhome, and Nelly.
Klarna stands for innovative payment options that make shopping on 
the Internet easier and more secure. "Klarna Invoicing" is a 
user-friendly, secure service that makes it possible for customers to
shop at any time and buy what they want, paying by invoice after 
receiving their purchases.
Another option is to pay by installment using "Klarna Account." 
Customers shop online using Klarna Invoicing, their orders are 
delivered to them, and all online purchases are then consolidated 
onto a single invoice at the end of the month. The customer can 
choose to pay the entire amount at once or to pay off a part of the 
total each month.
"We are pleased that our partnership with Klarna will allow us to 
offer a proven and highly popular payment option for the Scandinavian
market," says Ute Koehler, Vice President of Business Operations at 
asknet AG. "Klarna is the perfect partner for asknet and supports our
philosophy of offering end customers in our eShops user-friendly and 
secure payment methods that are in line with the requirements of the 
local market. With Klarna´s services, we will boost customer 
satisfaction in our Scandinavian eShops - and we also expect the 
improved shopping experience to be reflected in higher conversion 
rates."
