This article explains everything you need to know about the KAST Bitcoin Card: what it is, how it works, how to get it, and what features and limits apply. You’ll also find step-by-step instructions and answers to common questions to help you get the most out of your card.
What Is the KAST Bitcoin Card?
The KAST Bitcoin Card is a standard plastic card designed for everyday spending using your KAST balance, with a Bitcoin-inspired design for users who want a BTC-branded experience. It lets you pay anywhere Visa is accepted (depending on your region), with fast, secure transactions, real-time updates, and built-in fraud protection.
The Bitcoin Card draws directly from your KAST wallet balance, so you can spend your funds instantly without waiting for bank transfers. It’s part of KAST’s Standard card tier, alongside the K Card, Pengu Standard Card, and Solana Card—all Standard cards share the same core functionality and benefits, with the only difference being the design you choose.

With this card, you get:
1.5% USD cashback on eligible card transactions
