Now on the KickEX exchange you can buy cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, USDT, BCH) for dollars, euros, rubles and other fiat currencies without resorting to other exchangers, without triple commissions and unreliable intermediaries!

The long-awaited ability to exchange fiat for crypto using bank cards is now available on the exchange! We know how long the community has been waiting for this feature to be added. You asked, we did.

We understand that many users previously had difficulties buying cryptocurrency via third-party services, so the KickEX team did everything it could to make 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. We also made sure that the fees for the conversion were the most optimal, so users do not lose money when exchanging. This is especially topical recently, when the fees for the usual transfer of Etherium or tokens reached huge amounts of $15-20 per transaction, which, in principle, contradicts the concept of cryptocurrencies and cheap transactions.

Immediately after purchase, users no longer need to transfer cryptocurrency anywhere and create a separate crypto wallet. The purchased cryptocurrency is automatically transferred to the user’s KickEX exchange account. Soon, you 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 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.
