Kinesis has partnered with Banxa, a global fiat-to-crypto on-ramp, to enable instant purchases of gold (KAU), silver (KAG), and 25+ digital assets in over 200 regions.
Users can pay using debit and credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, open banking, and bank transfers.
Purchases are made directly in local currency, with assets delivered straight into Kinesis accounts.
Fees are among the lowest on the market, especially for card payments, and the process only takes a few clicks.
Buy digital assets with Visa or Mastercard
Users can purchase metals and digital assets with processing fees as low as 1.99% on card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay payments.
The feature supports 30+ local currencies and offers a high monthly purchase limit.
Assets available include Bitcoin, USDT, XRP, and Kinesis gold and silver.
Buying gold and silver with Banxa
For retail buyers, the monthly purchase limit for KAU and KAG is $2,000, with plans to increase this over time.
Experienced users can buy USDT and USDC in larger amounts, then trade them for gold or silver on the Kinesis Exchange.
Buy digital assets via local banking options
Users in Europe, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, and other regions can use local transfers like SEPA, PayID, Interac, and iDEAL.
These transfers have 0% processing fees, making them one of the most cost-effective ways to fund Kinesis accounts.
The service also supports payments from Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and South Africa with familiar local banking methods.
How it works
The purchase option is found on the Home dashboard under the “Buy with Card” button in the Buy/Sell widget.
Users choose their local currency or the asset they want to buy, and the system shows the live price, including fees.
Most verified users won’t need extra compliance checks. If additional verification is required, it is done once and remembered for future purchases.
Earn a yield on gold
Users who buy and hold gold or silver on Kinesis automatically earn a monthly Holder’s Yield.
The yield is funded by global transaction fee revenue from the previous month.
In June, Kinesis distributed $2.6 million worth of gold and silver to holders, showing the strength of the yield system.
Enhanced global access
Kinesis continues to expand access to its platform with new deposit methods and integrations.
Partnering with Banxa improves global on-ramping, giving users a seamless and affordable way to buy digital assets and gold worldwide.
