• Some financial institutions allow you to create your KONEK profile directly in their app. In this case, your details are pre-populated, and you only need to review and confirm. 

*Note: 

• The default payment method is the financial account from which payments will be debited. 

• The default payment method can be changed at any time. 

• If a merchant does not accept a payment method, then you cannot select that payment method and the following message is displayed underneath, “Not accepted by merchant”.
