Create and manage an account

How do I open a Kallpa Pay account?
To open a Kallpa Pay account, download the application from the App Store or the Google Play Store. Once the application is downloaded, tap "Create an account" and follow our simple registration form. At the end of the form, you will be redirected:
- to our payment partner Stripe to add a bank card for the subscription payment and donation collection;
- to our partner Powens to synchronise your bank account so you can round up all your card payments;
- if you have chosen the Kallpa Pay card, an identity check will be requested with our partner Swan.
The full process takes no more than 15 minutes with identity verification, and less than 10 minutes for the Standard plan with bank account synchronisation.
What documents are needed for registration?
It depends on the plan you choose.
With the Standard plan, which synchronises your personal bank account, no document will be requested.
