To buy crypto or gold (KAU) directly from the Kinesis platform, sign in to your account and go to the Buy/Sell widget located in the top right corner of your Home dashboard. 

If you’ve not signed up yet, you can create a Kinesis account and go through a quick verification process. With Kinesis, your assets are protected with strong security protocols, such as two-factor authentication (2FA) and a secure wallet system.

Once you’ve set up your account, you can select the digital asset you want to purchase, then choose your payment method, such as a debit or credit card, bank transfer or a local payment option.

Note that although the asset purchases are near-instant, for international bank transfers, the processing time can take up to 3-5 days.

For information on the integrated Banxa purchase feature, see our fees page.

Crypto purchases with a debit or credit card are instant, with assets arriving directly into your account, depending on your chosen payment method and network traffic. 

Other options, such as Open Banking and bank transfers, are also instant, while your banking or service provider may take longer to process the transaction.

Kinesis supports several payment methods for buying crypto and gold, including:

• Debit and credit card 
• Apple Pay and Google Pay
• Open banking
• Local bank transfers
• Alternative payment options (such as Skrill and Neller)

 
While debit and credit card payments are available worldwide, other options, such as local bank transfers and regional payment methods, are only accessible in specific regions.

For all available purchase methods, minimum and maximum limits, see our fees page.

On the Kinesis platform, on the main Home dashboard, the ‘Buy with Card’ option within the Buy/Sell widget allows users in supported regions to securely purchase crypto using a debit card, credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.

The feature allows you to choose a preferred spending currency (e.g., USD or EUR) and instantly view the corresponding amount of digital assets you’ll get, along with the live market price and total fees. Alternatively, you can specify the amount of a desired asset (e.g., Bitcoin or Ethereum) you want to receive, and the platform will display the payable amount in your local currency.

In most cases, verified users won’t need to complete any additional verification checks beyond those already completed with Kinesis.

You can purchase gold, silver and 35+ cryptocurrencies, including major coins such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), as well as popular altcoins like Litecoin (LTC), Cardano (ADA), and many more. 

You can view the full list of supported assets in this support guide. 

You can make a purchase with 30+ local currencies, native assets, Kinesis gold (KAU), silver (KAG) or Kinesis’ native stablecoin Currency One USD. The platform is designed for fast execution and secure asset conversion, making it a convenient gateway into the digital asset space.

KAU and KAG are digital assets backed by fully allocated, physical gold and silver held in Kinesis’ global vaulting network. Each KAU and KAG is backed 1:1 by physical precious metals, giving you the ability to send, trade or invest with tangible assets.
