From Crypto 101: Wallets and keys
Your keys, your money
Kite is non-custodial. Your key is split into shares with multi-party computation, so Kite never holds the whole thing, and you can export your private key whenever you want.

Put the lessons into practice with Kite.
Everything the cards teach points the same way: hold your own keys, keep dollars you can reach, and send without asking permission. Kite is built around exactly that, so your first app is one you never have to outgrow.
From Crypto 301: Advanced self-custody
Recovery built in
Set up social or account recovery, so a lost phone doesn't mean lost money. Keep at least one recovery method and you can always get back in.
From Crypto 101: Stablecoins
Hold digital dollars
Keep USDC or USDT in your own wallet, useful when your local currency is moving around or you're paid in dollars.
From Crypto 201: Networks and gas
One address, six networks
Receive on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Polygon and Optimism with the same address, and swap or bridge between them in the app.
From Crypto 201: Sending abroad
Send money anywhere, any day
Pay a flatmate back, split a trip, or send money home. Stablecoin transfers settle in minutes, weekends included, to any wallet address.
For everyday spending
Spend with a Visa card
Top up a virtual Visa from your stablecoins and pay online or with Google Pay, wherever Visa is accepted.

Money you top up onto the Kite card moves out of your self-custody wallet and is held by the card issuer, DCS, to cover your spending, so keep only what you plan to spend on the card. Kite accounts are for adults 18 and over, with identity verification.
