Your money matters. This article explains how KAST protects your funds and data, what security measures are in place, how regulated partners are involved, and what you can do to keep your account secure.
What Does “Money Safety” Mean on KAST?
Money safety on KAST includes three main areas:
- Fund handling: Where your money is stored and how it moves
- Account security: How access to your account is protected
- User protection: What systems are in place to prevent fraud and detect unusual activity
KAST is designed with layered security across all three areas, combining regulated financial infrastructure, secure technology systems, and user-level protections.
How Are My Funds Held and Processed?
KAST works with licensed and regulated financial partners to process payments, card transactions, and currency conversions.
This includes:
- Licensed payment institutions and money service providers
- Regulated banking partners for settlement and local rails
- Global card network infrastructure (e.g., Visa)
- Blockchain infrastructure partners for stablecoin transactions
KAST maintains a clear separation between app access (the interface you use) and fund custody and processing, which are handled through regulated financial systems. This structure helps reduce risk and ensures that funds move through supervised, compliant infrastructure.
How Is My Account Protected From Unauthorized Access?
KAST uses multiple layers of account-level protection to help safeguard your identity, prevent unauthorized logins, and monitor suspicious activity in real time.
Account Security Features
- Password reset required after each login
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Biometric login (Face ID / fingerprint where supported)
- Real-time fraud monitoring
How Are Transactions Secured?
Every transfer, conversion, and card payment goes through secure infrastructure.
Transaction-level protections include:
- Authenticated approvals for sensitive actions
- Encrypted data transmission
- Secure card network processing
- Real-time balance updates
You always see when funds are sent, when they’re received, the exchange rate applied, and any fees charged. This level of transparency reduces uncertainty and gives you full visibility into your funds at all times.
