Kinesis Integrates Banxa for Fiat-to-Crypto Purchases

Overview

Kinesis has added Banxa as a fiat-to-crypto payment provider. The arrangement lets users buy Kinesis Gold (KAU), Kinesis Silver (KAG), and more than 25 other digital assets in over 200 regions. Purchases can be made in local currencies, with the assets deposited straight into Kinesis accounts.

Payment Methods

Supported options include debit and credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, open banking, and bank transfers. More than 30 local currencies are accepted. Among the digital assets that can be bought are Bitcoin, USDT, XRP, KAU, and KAG.

Limits and Fees

Card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay transactions carry a processing fee that starts at 1.99%. Certain bank-transfer methods—SEPA, PayID, Interac, and iDEAL—are available in selected regions and do not incur processing fees. Retail purchases of KAU and KAG are currently capped at $2,000 per month. Larger amounts can still be obtained by first buying supported stablecoins and then exchanging them inside the platform.

Regional Availability

Local banking methods are offered in parts of Europe, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, South Africa, and a number of other markets.

Purchase Process

The feature appears as a “Buy with Card” option on the Kinesis home dashboard. After a currency or asset is selected, the platform shows the current price and any applicable fees. Most verified users can complete the purchase without further compliance steps, though additional verification is sometimes requested.

Holder’s Yield

Gold and silver held on the platform remain eligible for the monthly Holder’s Yield, which is drawn from transaction-fee revenue collected across the system. Kinesis reported that $2.6 million worth of gold and silver was distributed to eligible holders in June.
