FAQ

Why can’t I pay or top up with SOFORT anymore?

Klarna (The owner of the payment method SOFORT) is phasing out SOFORT as an independent payment method by 30 September 2024. For this reason, we can no longer offer SOFORT to KUARIO users. KUARIO offers a wide range of alternative payment methods depending on your chosen country. We recommend that you choose another payment method.
