Many consider the traditional banking model to be stuck in the past, with slow transfers and limited currency support. Krak’s new account attempts to change that by uniting your money and crypto in one place. The Krak Card, the new Kraken crypto debit card, is now available to UK and EU customers and works anywhere Mastercard is accepted.
Every purchase earns you up to 1% back, payable in EUR or even in Bitcoin, essentially creating Bitcoin cashback. On top of that, Krak offers instant cross-border transfers and vaults yielding up to 10% APY on your idle assets, merging spending, sending, and earning in one unified platform.
Why Banks Can’t Keep Up
Legacy banks are built for a slower, local economy. They enforce strict rules, hide foreign exchange fees, and make you wait days for international transfers. By contrast, Krak is designed for today’s digital lifestyle.
Users can hold and spend any of 400+ fiat or crypto assets at real-time exchange rates with the Krak card. There are no hidden FX fees and no ATM charges anywhere. Everything is fast and transparent, freeing users from the old banking hassles.
Spend Anywhere With 1% Cashback
With the Kraken crypto debit card, you truly spend crypto worldwide. It functions like a normal debit card wherever Mastercard is accepted, but with added perks. You can choose which asset from your account to use at checkout, and Krak converts it instantly without fees.
On top of that, up to 1% of your purchase amount comes back to you as a reward. You can even receive your reward in Bitcoin, blending everyday spending with a form of Bitcoin cashback. Plus, there are no ATM fees anywhere in the world.
Send Crypto and Cash Instantly
Krak makes transferring money simple and global. You can send crypto or cash instantly to any other Krak user, anywhere in the world. That means splitting a dinner bill, paying an overseas freelancer, or moving money between your own accounts happens with a tap and no delay.
These transfers are free and happen in real time, unlike traditional wire transfers. Coming soon is the ability to have your salary paid directly into Krak, so your paycheck is available to spend immediately.
Earn Passive Income With Vaults
Your spare crypto can now earn a strong return. Krak Vaults are flexible, risk-adjusted savings strategies built on crypto protocols. There are three levels to match different risk appetites:
- Balanced Yield (around 5.5% APY) for steady growth.
- Boosted Yield (around 9.5% APY) for moderate risk.
- Advanced Strategies (up to 10%+ APY) for maximum returns.
All Vaults automatically compound your earnings 24/7 with no minimum deposit or lockup period. In practice, this means your assets keep working while you sleep, earning yield continuously.
Manage Everything in One Place
Krak brings spending, transfers, and savings together under one account. Instead of juggling separate crypto wallets and bank apps, you handle everything in Krak’s interface. The app shows balances for every currency, lets you pick which assets to spend or save, and tracks your Vault yields in real time. This all-in-one crypto banking app replaces multiple accounts and cards, making your financial life simpler and more flexible.
Who Can Use Krak?
Krak is made for a wide range of people. Everyday shoppers can use it like a normal debit card, gaining Bitcoin cashback on routine spending. Freelancers, remote workers, and international teams can send and receive funds instantly across borders.
Crypto enthusiasts and investors will appreciate easy access to high yields with Krak Vaults while keeping funds liquid.
