PayRate42 Critically Reviews and Lists Klarna's Subsidiary Sofort

PayRate42, a leading agency in compliance reviews for financial services, has critically reviewed and listed Sofort, a subsidiary of Klarna, highlighting significant concerns.

Sofort, known for its online banking-based payment services, faces scrutiny due to privacy and security issues. Users must provide sensitive banking information, raising concerns about data protection. Furthermore, Sofort's involvement in facilitating payments for unauthorized online gaming operations has been noted. Despite regulatory compliance claims, these factors have led PayRate42 to downgrade Sofort's rating to "Red," indicating high risk and urging caution for users.

Compliance Issues
Reports have indicated Sofort's involvement in processing payments for unauthorized and illegal online gaming operations. Sofort is used by various online gaming platforms, including unlicensed offshore sites, to process payments in jurisdictions where such activities are not legally permitted. This raises concerns about the compliance and regulatory oversight of Sofort, especially given Klarna's statements about restricting its services for gaming purposes. Investigations have revealed a pattern of Sofort being integrated into high-risk payment environments.
