It appears that Klarna doesn’t have an export facility like Stocard did. To use Catima, you will need to manually re-enter each card into the app.
A cynic might think the Stocard folks may have effectively sold their data to Klarna as part of the ‘automated’ transition whereby the customer would have had to accept some sort of privacy statement allowing it, and Klarna being a payment system is happy to keep a captive customer base by not having an export facility.
Get a nice bottle of your fav beverage and spend some quiet time with a keyboard/mobile camera and Catima or your other chosen app, manually entering your physical or digital cards.

SuperCards works similar to Stocard but simpler and faster. If your Stocard account is not blocked yet you use your camera on one device to scan your cards on another device. If your account is blocked and forcing you to migrate to Klarna then (if you don’t have the physical cards) you will need to migrate to Klarna, scan your cards using SuperCards and request Klarna to delete your account. A bit painful but worth it.
I personally prefer to keep my phone wallet clutter free for credit card and the occasional tickets when travelling.

Hmmm. Maybe I wasn’t paying attention, but I don’t recall being notified by Stocard that they were shutting down the app - and therefore locking my data. I don’t have many of the older loyalty cards or membership details any more (yes - I probably should have backed them up somewhere else) and I don’t want to surrender my personal details to Klarna.
In the Apple app store, you can see the list of data that Klarna ‘collects’ from users!!!
Gross.
Klarna doesn’t have an app for the Apple watch which is a deal breaker for me and I certainly do not want to use the Klarna payments system.
I am so happy to have found SuperCards which is simple and easy to use and it doesn’t have all the extra unwanted payment stuff found in Klarna.
SuperCards works well with the Apple iPhone and the Apple Watch which I use for all my Tap & Go or contactless shopping as it is always on my wrist except when being charged.
When importing cards into SuperCards on an iPhone, open the other store card app such as Stocard and take a screenshot of the card stored in the app.
Then open the SuperCards app and in the import cards section, you have 2 options for importing cards. You can select the screenshot stored in your iPhones Photo Library or alternatively you take a picture of the cards barcode on the backside of the card.
Both methods of importing your cards into SuperCards work quickly and easily.
