The online course Nextlevel, marketed on TikTok, has seen its payment processing halted by major financial institutions Svea Bank and Klarna. This decision follows ongoing disputes regarding the course's credibility and the legitimacy of its affiliate marketing promises. The result has raised concerns among participants and experts who argue that the program mainly encourages participants to sell the course to others, rather than providing viable income opportunities.

Participants, such as Awo Dabar, shared their experiences believing the program would allow them to earn significant money quickly, citing sales pitches that promised earnings of 100,000 SEK within months. However, many have found the expected financial returns elusive, leading to frustrations and dissatisfaction. With the course costing over 40,000 SEK and offering payment plans, the financial implications for buyers who feel misled are considerable.

This situation has sparked discussions on the accountability of online educational offerings and the role of financial institutions in regulating such transactions. As more scrutiny is placed on platforms promoting questionable courses, there could be broader implications for similar online educational enterprises, prompting efforts for stricter regulations and better consumer protections in the digital space.
