Most regulated crypto platforms, including Ka.app, require KYC verification before you can buy, sell, transfer, or withdraw NEAR tokens. KYC verification is a security measure that protects users from fraud, identity theft, and illegal activities while ensuring compliance with financial regulations. Although some decentralized exchanges (DEXs) may allow you to buy NEAR without KYC, they often lack the security, convenience, and protection offered by trusted platforms like Ka.app.
If you’re using Ka.app, the cheapest way to buy NEAR is to convert EUR to NEAR, especially if you’re eligible for service fee discounts (those who’ve locked up their KASTA tokens in the platform enjoy lower fees).
It can vary depending on your bank. Some enable you to transfer EUR to Ka.app within a couple of minutes, while others may take a few banking days.
Buying NEAR tokens with your credit/debit card takes just a few seconds to minutes within Ka.app.
