How to deposit Euro from an EEA-based account?
Step 1: Click on the ASSETS tab from the left-hand navigation panel and select EUR from the available currency list, then select the ‘Deposit’ option.
Alternatively, you can also click the ‘Deposit’ option in the drop-down menu, located in the top-right corner of your main dashboard.
Step 2: As you click the ‘Deposit’ function, a new preferred deposit location for Euro currency should appear as the first option.
You will be asked to create your personal bank details in order to deposit EUR into your Kinesis EUR account.
Step 3: When you click ‘Create’, Kinesis will automatically create your Virtual Account with unique bank details. These new account details will include your name, International Bank Account Number (IBAN) and Bank Identifier Code (BIC).
Step 4: You can now use your newly created Virtual Account to send funds from an external bank account and the Kinesis platform. To start, minimise the Kinesis account tab in your browser and log into your external, European bank account from which you wish to send the funds to Kinesis, in another tab.
Please note that users can only deposit EUR from another account held in their name.
Step 5: As you create a bank transfer, make sure to carefully copy the depositing details from your Kinesis Virtual account and paste them into the Recipient fields of your external bank account, to ensure the successful receipt of your funds.
Allow 3-5 working days for the funds to clear. Once Kinesis has confirmed receipt of your deposited funds, your Kinesis EUR account will be credited and you will receive an email confirming this transaction.
What if my deposit is rejected?
If your payment didn’t come through for any reason, your funds will be returned to the bank account they were originally sent from. To prevent your funds from being redirected, please ensure that they are being sent from an account held in the same name as your Kinesis account.
Your deposit might be rejected if there are special characters or numerals in your name or surname, or if your registered address details do not match the sending and receiving accounts.
