Swedish fintech for online payments. A lot of young people go into debts with their "shop now, buy later" function

Credit cards are not that wide spread in many parts of Europe opposed to the US. I guess it's more like PayPal with the possibility to pay later. But yes, I also use my debit/credit card for online payment, which is a step more as I have to enter many numbers for that.

Yikes, that sounds bad. Credit cards aren't really known for being above-board there either.

Credit card with no interest or very very low interest.

It's like lay-away for people old enough to remember that, except you get the product immediately instead of later.
