Global Kinesis Virtual Card transaction Fees
Is my Kinesis Virtual Card free?
You can apply for your global Kinesis Virtual Card free of charge. There is no sign-up, cancellation or monthly maintenance fee. There are no depositing or top-up fees either. No costs are associated with owning or maintaining the card or any of your Kinesis accounts.
What are the fees for spending or sending money?
1.95% transaction (load) fee
A 1.95% transaction fee is charged whenever you spend with your Kinesis Virtual Card.
This fee is also charged whenever you withdraw your money from the contactless ATM.
Kinesis has opted to pay back 100% of Kinesis’ share of the transaction fee (0.95%) into the Kinesis yield pool, which will be distributed back to users in gold and silver, each month. Our card provider will charge a 1% fee per transaction. This fee does not benefit Kinesis.
FX conversion fee
The default global Kinesis Virtual Card currency is EURO. Whenever you transact in any other currency, a global FX conversion fee will be additionally charged by Mastercard. This fee does not benefit Kinesis.
0.22% trade execution fee (whenever transacting in crypto)
The additional trade-execution 0.22% fee is charged when cryptocurrencies are being transacted on the Kinesis Exchange during conversion online, or at the physical point of sale. For example, if you buy a coffee using your Bitcoin balance, Bitcoin will be sold at the exchange marketplace against the USD (the default Kinesis Exchange currency) to acquire the fiat amount necessary to cover the transaction placed at said coffee shop.
All money from this fee will be sent back to the Master Fee Pool and redistributed back to Kinesis cardholders in the form of a Velocity yield and a Referrer’s yield.
You can find all Kinesis Virtual Card fees listed on our fees page.
Will I get charged extra for using my card abroad?
Whenever transacting between different currencies, eg. while using your card abroad, you will be charged a Forex currency conversion fee, in line with Mastercard’s real exchange rate. This charge does not benefit Kinesis.
