The long-awaited ability to exchange fiat for crypto using bank cards is now available on the KickEX exchange!
Many Kick Ecosystem users used to have difficulties buying cryptocurrency via third-party services, so the KickEX team made it possible to buy digital assets for fiat with just a few clicks. Now it is convenient and simple, even for those who have never bought cryptocurrency and do not know even how to start.
To trade on the exchange, you no longer need to look for third-party services and worry about the legality and reliability of exchanging your money. The fees for the conversion are the most optimal, so users do not lose money when exchanging. This is especially topical recently when the fees for the usual transfer of Ethereum or tokens reached huge amounts of $15-20 per transaction, which, in principle, contradicts the concept of cryptocurrencies and cheap transactions.
Immediately after the purchase, users no longer need to transfer their cryptocurrencies anywhere and create a separate crypto wallet. The purchased cryptocurrency is automatically transferred to the user’s KickEX exchange account. Soon, KickEX users will be able to store the cryptocurrency in the KickMobile crypto wallet, which is expected to be released this fall. The cold mosaic wallet technology used in the ecosystem ensures the maximum safety of users' funds. Thus, after a purchase, users no longer need to look for a wallet where they can safely store their funds.
