Transaction limits & velocity limits
Kite applies transaction limits to help comply with financial regulations and keep the platform secure. Where a limit applies, you'll always see it in the app before confirming your transaction.
KYC requirements
You'll need to complete KYC before you can use most features, including:
- Sending crypto
- Using the Kite Card
KYC is currently available only to residents of supported countries. See "Why Kite asks for KYC" to learn more.
Kite Card limits
The Kite Card currently supports:
- Spending: up to $50,000 or 50 transactions per day.
- Coming soon: ATM withdrawals will be available with the physical Kite Card. Limits and supported countries will be shared when the feature launches.
These limits reset daily at 12:00 AM UTC+8 (SGT). For more information, see "Kite Card fees & limits."
Crypto transfers
Receiving crypto
Receiving crypto is always free and has no transaction limits.
Sending crypto
Sending crypto is free up to your daily per-chain limit. Once you exceed the free limit on a particular blockchain, a flat Kite fee applies to each additional send on that chain.
- The fee varies by network.
- The applicable fee is shown before you confirm the transaction.
- The free allowance resets every day at 12:00 AM UTC.
See "Kite fees overview" for more information.
Good to know
- Transaction limits may change over time as regulations evolve and Kite expands to new regions.
- Whenever a limit applies, the app will show the current limit before you confirm the transaction.
