KAST

Operating similarly to a digital neobank, it offers users virtual USD and EU account details along with Visa debit cards that convert digital assets into fiat at checkout. The platform enables freelancers, remote workers, and global users to earn yield on idle balances, send low-cost international transfers, and receive real-time rewards.
