KAST Payment Links Are Here: Send Money With Just a Link

Paying someone should not start with a hunt for their account information.

You covered dinner. A friend needs their share. A family member needs support. Someone did the work, and now you want to pay them. Then the transfer slows down because you need one more thing: the right details.

So we made that part easier.

With Payment Links in KAST, you can create a secure link, choose a USD amount, and share it with the person you want to pay. They open the link and follow the steps to claim the money into KAST.

No long setup. No back and forth. No messy copy paste.

Payment Links let you send a fixed USD amount through a secure, single-use link. You can share it by message, email, QR code, or other supported channels. If the recipient is new to KAST, they can sign up and complete the required steps before receiving the money.

How Payment Links Work

The flow keeps the send simple.

The recipient can see key payment details while the link is active, including the amount and expiry information.

Where Payment Links Help

Payment Links work best when a normal transfer asks for too much information too early.

It feels closer to sending a message than arranging a payment.

New to KAST? The Link Still Works

The recipient does not need to have a KAST account when you create the link.

If they are new, they can open the Payment Link, verify their details, download KAST, and complete the required steps. Once approved, they can receive the money in their KAST account.

That gives the recipient a clear reason to start: there is already money waiting for them.

Payment Links Can Also Start Referrals

A Payment Link can also act as an invite when the recipient is new to KAST.

If they sign up through your Payment Link, complete the required steps, and meet the KAST referral requirements, you may receive the applicable referral reward.

Standard referral rules apply, including eligibility, account approval, successful claim, reward timing, and any required qualifying actions.

For full reward rules, eligibility, and timing, check the KAST referral terms in the app or on our Terms and Conditions page.

Fees and Limits

KAST does not charge you a fee to create a Payment Link.

The recipient also pays no fee when they claim the money into their KAST balance.

Your current limits may appear in the KAST app.

You Stay in Control

When you create a Payment Link, the amount moves from your available balance and waits for the recipient to claim it.

You can cancel an active link before it gets reserved or claimed. If you cancel it in time, the full amount returns to your KAST balance.

If the recipient does not complete the claim before expiry, the money also comes back to you.

How Do I Send Money With Payment Links in KAST?

Important Details

Before you share a Payment Link, keep these points in mind:

Treat a Payment Link like cash. Share it only with the intended recipient.

Why We Built This

KAST helps you store, earn, move, and spend money across borders.

Payment Links add a lighter way to move money between people. You do not need to collect every detail before you start. You can send the link first and let the recipient claim from there.

That makes everyday payments feel simpler, especially when the person is not already in your KAST contacts.

How Do I Claim a KAST Payment Link?

Start Sending With Payment Links

Open KAST, choose the amount, create your Payment Link, and share it with the person you want to pay.

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. You’ll be asked for:Your affiliate code (from the app)Name, phone number, and KAST emailPrevious affiliate experience (if any)Optional links (Telegram, LinkedIn, etc.)Your main channels and audience countriesA short note about how you plan to promote KASTSubmit the form.

Some people sign up — but you don’t know how many, or why.After applying through the app and getting approved, that changes.Now you can see:Which posts generate sign-upsWhich use cases resonate mostWhether your audience responds more to the KAST Card or Local PayoutsInstead of guessing, you have data.Instead of casually sharing, you’re running something structured.How This Fits Into the KAST EcosystemMost affiliates promote what they already use. 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.
