The changing shopping landscape, especially the rise of e-commerce businesses, calls for additional payment methods to enter the scene. Nowadays we see that more and more retailers opt to offer Buy Now, Pay Later services, which allow customers to buy the items they want and spread the payment over time. The items that seemed to be too expensive to purchase at once now can be bought and repaid in several installments, which helps to extend the customer base and increase profits.
Klarna is one of the most popular Buy Now, Pay Later options on the market and its popularity stems from the ease of applying and using the service. The service even offers returns. The process of getting approved for Klarna is quite straightforward and requires just a few simple steps, one of which is providing your contact details. But what happens if you need to change them?

Customers are required to provide their name, billing address, bank card or bank account, email and phone number to get approved for the service.
Can I change my contact details in my Klarna app myself?
The answer depends on what exactly you’d like to change. The customer cannot change name, email and phone number provided when signing up for the service in the Klarna app without contacting Klarna’s customer support. However, they can change their billing address, but the request will take some time to process.
What if I provided incorrect contact information in my Klarna application?
