1. How do the two payment modes work?
Debit mode: Add funds to your Klarna balance and pay instantly with your card as you would with a regular debit card.
Pay later mode: Apply for a pay later plan for your next purchase and choose to pay from your Klarna balance or a connected card.
2. How do I switch between debit and pay later mode?

3. Do I need to have money in my Klarna balance to use the card?
Only for debit mode—the card uses funds from your Klarna balance, just like a regular debit card. For pay later mode, you don’t need money in your Klarna balance. You can choose to fund the payment plan using either your Klarna balance or a connected card.
4. Can I change the payment mode after I've made a purchase?
No, you cannot change the payment mode yet. Soon, you'll be able to convert debit purchases into pay later plans. For now, be sure to select your preferred payment method before completing your purchase.
