All Standard Physical KAST Cards Are Now Free – Here’s How To Get Yours

Take your KAST Card beyond the app, now easier than ever.

All Standard Physical KAST CardsK, Solana, and Bitcoin Silver – are now free. You order it, we deliver it, you start using it.

One less thing in the way between you and IRL crypto spending.

What Changed

Getting a Standard Physical KAST Card meant paying a $100 card fee. That fee is gone.

Now:

  • All Standard Physical KAST Cards (K, Solana, and Bitcoin Silver) are free.
  • You only cover the $40 shipping fee.
  • Once it arrives, it works exactly the same as any KAST card.

Same experience. Easier access.

What Is a Standard KAST Card?

This is where most people start with crypto spending – and how KAST shows up in the real world.

At checkout. At the counter. On a screen when you’re booking something late at night.

A Standard KAST Card is the simplest way to turn your stablecoins into something you can actually use IRL, the same way you’d use any other card.

Coffee. Groceries. Flights. Subscriptions. It works anywhere VISA is accepted.

You can get:

  • a virtual card for online payments,
  • a physical card for everything else.

And whenever you use your KAST card, you'll earn 2% back in KAST points and 4% back in $MOVE tokens – on every transaction.

Why We Removed the Card Fee

Although our virtual card is accepted at millions of merchants around the world, there are a few instances when you may need a physical card handy, such as when you check in to a hotel, withdraw cash from an ATM, or pay a bill without internet connection.

Other times, it's simpler than that.

You just want a real card in your wallet. Something you can swipe. Hand over. Or show off when talking about KAST with friends.

During those times, the physical card isn’t a “nice to have.” It serves a real purpose. And the only thing left is to order it – but having to pay a $100 fee can make you stop and think twice.

So we removed it.

Because we don’t want that pause. We want an easy yes.

Now, when you’re ready for the physical KAST Card, you can order it, get it delivered, and start using it – at a much lesser cost.

How to Get Your Card

You can get your physical KAST card in just a few steps:

  1. Go to Cards > Order A Card
  2. Choose a Standard card and select Physical + Virtual
  3. Pay $40 for shipping
  4. Review and confirm your details.

Once you confirm and check out, you'll just need to pay for shipping. Then we'll deliver your new standard card within a few weeks.

Why You Need a Physical KAST Card

A Physical KAST Card covers the gaps where digital payments still fall short.

Some countries don’t widely accept Apple Pay or tap-to-pay. In places like Japan, taxis and smaller merchants often ask for a physical card. Hotels, car rentals, and local terminals still rely on card inserts or swipes for deposits and security checks.

Having the physical card means you don’t have to worry in those moments.

With a Physical KAST Card, you can:

  • Pay in-store and online anywhere VISA is accepted
  • Handle pre-authorization transactions smoothly
  • Use your card to withdraw cash from an ATM
  • Manage limits, controls, and activity directly in the app
  • Earn the same rewards you already get with your virtual KAST Card

No changes to how things work. Just more places where KAST works.

Staying in Control

Using a virtual KAST card is usually enough. Until it isn’t.

Those moments are rare – but when they happen, they leave little room for choice. Having the physical card puts that control back with you.

That’s why most people who use KAST ultimately get the physical card. Not because they planned to, but because they didn’t want to be caught without it again.

Now that the card fee is gone, there’s no tradeoff in getting ahead of that moment.

KAST Adds In-App Affiliate Sign-Up and Portal Access

You’ve probably talked about KAST without even thinking about it. Maybe someone asked how you receive USD from abroad. Maybe they were curious how you actually spend stablecoins in daily life. Maybe you dropped your referral link in a group chat and moved on.But you never really know what happens next.Now you can turn those casual conversations into something structured and measurable — without creating a separate account or searching for signup pages. You can apply to the KAST Affiliate Program directly inside the app.There are no extra logins, no separate platforms to manage, and no added friction. It starts exactly where you already are.Why Apply Inside The App?Most affiliate programs sit outside the product experience. You usually have to search for the right signup page, create a separate login, manually connect your referral code, and then switch between different dashboards just to keep track of everything. It often feels disconnected from the product you’re actually using.With KAST, the process starts inside the app. You simply go to Home → Refer → Become an Affiliate.Because it’s built into your existing account, your email stays aligned, your referral code remains the same, and your identity is already verified. There’s no need to recreate information or manage a separate profile.Keeping everything in one place reduces friction, minimizes back-and-forth during review, and makes the whole process more straightforward.How The Application Process WorksStep 1: Apply From The AppOpen your KAST app and go to:Home → Refer → Become an AffiliateThen:Tap ReferTap Become an Affiliate (top corner)The application form opens in your browser.It’s short and focused.

In practice, that means they talk about real things they do in KAST. For example, they receive USD into their KAST Global USD account, hold stablecoins like USDC, and spend globally with the KAST Card. They also use local payouts to convert funds into local currency when they need to.When your content reflects real usage, referrals feel natural. You are not pushing a product. Instead, you are showing how you use KAST in daily life.
