Your money moves at the speed of Kite (Coming Soon!)

Getting into stablecoins shouldn’t mean opening another exchange account, going through KYC again, figuring out crypto markets, and copying a wallet address you triple-check.

And getting your money back out shouldn’t be just as complicated.

With Kite, you can add money and cash out directly from the app using the payment methods you already use.

Add money in your local currency

Choose your currency, enter how much you want to add, and pay using an available local payment method. Kite converts it to USDC and adds it to your balance.

How it works:

  1. Choose your local currency and enter an amount.
  2. Select an available payment method , such as bank transfer, e-wallet, or card.
  3. Review the amount and rate.
  4. Confirm and receive USDC in your Kite balance, typically within 10 minutes.

No separate exchange account. No manual wallet transfers. No extra withdrawal step.

Cash out when you need to

Need to move your USDC back into local currency? Cashing out works just as simply.

  1. Enter how much crypto you want to cash out.
  2. Choose where you want the money to go.
  3. Review the local-currency amount, rate, and any applicable fees.
  4. Confirm and the funds are sent to your selected destination, typically within 10 minutes.

Everything is shown before you approve the transaction. Nothing is deducted until you confirm.

Why use Kite?

  • One KYC: Your Kite verification is reused for ramps, so you don’t need to create another exchange account or repeat the process.
  • Local payment methods: Use the bank accounts, cards, and e-wallets available in your country instead of navigating crypto-native payment flows.
  • Know the numbers upfront: See the exchange rate, local amount, USDC amount, and applicable fees before you confirm.
  • Your stables stays yours: Kite is non-custodial. Once your USDC arrives, it stays in your own smart account, ready to send, spend, or hold.

Already completed KYC? You’re ready to go.

Disclaimer: On and off ramps are provided in partnership with a licensed payments provider. Availability, supported payment methods, limits, fees, and timing vary by country and are subject to local regulation. Applicable rates, fees, and expected timing are shown in-app before you confirm a transaction.
