Card Spending Balances — How it Works

Explains how Kolo card payments use Spending Balances, how to manage their priority order, and how BTC cashback can be included or excluded from card spending.

Updated over a month ago

With your Kolo Card, you can choose which balances are used for card payments. You can enable, disable, and reorder spending balances directly in the app.


How To Manage Spending Balances

  1. Open the Kolo app

  2. Go to Card details

  3. Tap Spend from

  4. Open Spending balances

You will see:

  • Enabled balances — balances used for card payments

  • Off for now — balances not used for card payments

You can:

  • turn balances on or off

  • reorder enabled balances

Payments use balances in priority order, from top to bottom. The top balance is used first.


How Payments Are Processed

When you make a card payment:

  • the system checks your Enabled balances in order

  • the first balance with enough funds is used

  • if the first balance does not have enough funds, the system may try to use the next one along with previous.

If sum of your enabled balances won't have enough funds, the payment may be declined.


Important Notes

  • Spending balances are configured per profile.

  • Disabled balances are not used until you enable them again.

  • Reordering balances changes the payment priority.
