KAST Adds USD and EUR Account Details for Global Payments

You didn’t go freelance to rebuild your payment setup every time a client pays differently.

KAST now gives eligible verified users their own USD and/or EUR account details. Share them with your employer, your client, a platform, or your own bank. The money lands in KAST, ready to spend, send, earn, or hold.

For freelancers, remote workers, digital nomads, and global earners, this creates a direct way to receive supported USD and EUR payments without opening a separate local account for every payment flow.

Your KAST Account Can Now Receive USD and EUR

KAST users will get their own USD and EUR account details inside the app. These details can be shared with employers, clients, platforms, or another bank account that needs to send funds.

The USD account supports ACH, Fedwire, and SWIFT deposits. The EUR account supports SEPA deposits.

That gives users a cleaner way to receive international payments and settle them into KAST. Instead of receiving fiat elsewhere, waiting for clearance, then moving funds again, users can bring the payment into KAST from the start.

Currency Supported rails Fee
USD ACH $2 flat
USD Fedwire $15 flat
USD SWIFT $30 flat
EUR SEPA $0 fixed fee

KAST charges 0% FX on USD deposits, with flat fees based on the transfer method. EUR SEPA deposits have no fixed receiving fee.

Built for Freelancers, Remote Workers, and Nomads

Many people earn globally but manage money locally. A designer in one country may invoice a U.S. client. A developer may receive EUR from a European company. A remote worker may need bank-style account details before an employer can send salary.

KAST now gives those users a freelancer global bank account-style receiving setup inside the app. They can share USD or EUR account details and receive payments through familiar fiat rails.

They still need a verified KAST account and must meet eligibility checks, but they do not need to open a separate EUR account elsewhere just to receive a SEPA payment into KAST.

The same applies to USD. Users who need a virtual USD account crypto flow can receive supported USD transfers and have the funds settle into USDC inside KAST.

Ready to receive EUR in KAST? Activate your EUR account in the app and get your SEPA details in minutes.

How USD and EUR Deposits Work in KAST

The flow is simple from the user side.

First, a verified KAST user activates USD and EUR account details in the app. EUR activation is instant after consent. USD activation requires a separate approval process, so it may show as pending or rejected.

Then the user shares the account details with the sender. That sender can be an employer, a client, a platform, or the user’s own bank account.

After the payment arrives and clears, KAST credits the user’s balance in USDC. The funds can then be used in the KAST app.

Once the money lands, users can:

Action What it means
Spend Use the KAST Card where supported
Send Transfer funds through KAST Pay
Hold Keep the balance in KAST
Earn Grow your money using Earn

What Users Should Know Before They Activate

This release covers deposits only. Users can receive USD and EUR into KAST, but this feature does not replace existing outbound fiat transfer flows.

USD account approval also runs separately from standard KAST verification. That means a user can have a verified KAST account and still face a pending or rejected USD account status.

Some larger or unusual deposits may require extra checks.

KAST will show users the relevant account status in the app. If a USD account cannot be created or needs more review, users will see the next step there.

For anyone who earns across borders, invoices international clients, or receives money through SWIFT, SEPA, ACH, or Fedwire, KAST now offers a more direct path.

Open KAST , activate your USD and EUR account details, and start receiving payments directly into your KAST account.

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. People understand the value because they see it in context.The Affiliate Program simply adds tracking and structure to what you already do inside KAST.What It CostsThere is no fee to apply.If approved, commissions and rewards are visible inside the Affiliate Portal.Eligibility criteria, reward structures, and approval timelines may change and are subject to internal review.Quick Checklist Before You ApplyYou actively use KASTYou have an audience (community, social media, newsletter, etc.)You can explain real use cases clearlyYou’re willing to promote responsiblyIf that sounds like you, the process takes just a few minutes.Ready To Apply?Open the KAST app and go to:Home → Refer → Become an AffiliateOr learn more at:https://www.kast.xyz/affiliateStart in the app.Apply in minutes.Track everything in one place.
