You can purchase digital assets by card directly from the Kinesis desktop platform.
Simply access the Buy/Sell widget on the right side of your Home dashboard, and click Buy with card. You’ll be redirected to the asset purchase widget in a new window.
Kinesis cannot process transactions blocked by your banking or card provider.
Success with card purchases varies depending on your financial institution's cryptocurrency policy. Kinesis has no control over whether your bank or card provider approves a digital asset purchase, and we cannot process transactions they block.
Depending on your country and your chosen bank, you may need to authorise the transaction through a secure browsing portal or your banking app.
If your bank declines the purchase
If your purchase isn't approved, you'll be notified immediately and no charge will be taken from your account. If this is the case, we recommend you try another debit card, credit card or bank transfer option - or one of our other deposit options.
Step 1: Select the currency to spend
First, select the local fiat currency you wish to make your purchase with. See the full list of accepted fiat currencies in this article.
Step 2: Select the purchase option
Clicking the currency selection box displays the available purchase methods, including credit/debit cards, bank transfers, PayPal, Giropay, Skrill, Neteller, and more.
Note: purchasing options vary depending on your selected currency.
The instant Purchase with card option supports Mastercard, Visa, Google Pay, and Apple Pay.
The Debit/Credit Card option is available globally, for all fiat currencies supported by the feature.
Step 3: Select the asset to buy
Select the asset you'd like to buy: gold (KAU), silver (KAG), Currency One stablecoins, or most cryptocurrencies available on the Kinesis platform. See the full list of supported assets here.
Enter your amount in either the You spend or You receive field, then click Continue.
Step 3: Complete the transaction
Once you've selected the asset you want to buy, the cash purchase method and the amount in either the Spend or Receive field, you'll be shown a summary to review before confirming.
You will see the sale price, including the fees.
Step 4: Transaction Confirmation
Once the transaction settles, the precious metals or cryptocurrency you purchased will be credited to your personal wallet address for that asset.
If the transaction is successful, you'll receive an email confirmation.
