Major Krak Redesign Krak has completely redesigned its app. Almost everything has changed, including the animations I was so used to the old interface that I didn't even recognize the app at first after updating Looks great! But the old design was also really good Update the app and share your thoughts!

Kraken just launched its own crypto card 👇 15 years in the game, $2 trillion in volume last year, and now a card at the checkout. - Free World Elite Mastercard, virtual and physical - Up to 2% cashback in BTC or cash, uncapped - Full 2% for everyone in the first 30 days - 0% FX, 600+ currencies and assets to spend from - Top up in fiat: SEPA, SWIFT, PayPal, Apple or Google Pay, even a credit card - Live in the UK and across the EEA Their play: Kraken Card for the crypto crowd, @krak for everyday folks, one @krakenfx account behind both. Crypto cards just crossed $900M a month, and over half of all card spending ever happened in the last 8 months. Names this big don't step in on a hunch. They move when the numbers are real.

Money should work for you. Not the other way around. Give @Krak a try, and understand what a better banking experience is like!
Storytime parce que je m'y attendais pas Samedi soir je me rappelle que je dois payer un ami lundi en cash. Je vais au distributeur, retrait refusé. Je me dis bon, problème de distributeur, pas grave. Dimanche flemme de sortir, tout est fermé, j'attends lundi. Lundi matin avant de voir mon pote, je retente… refusé encore. Mon plafond est OK, j'ai de l'argent sur mon compte, apriori pas de problème mais rien ne passe. Le truc c'est que j'ai deux banques, Boursorama et Caisse d'Épargne, sauf que j'ai perdu ma CB Boursorama depuis quelques jours (oui je sais je suis un boulet mdr). Donc je suis full dépendante de la Caisse d'Épargne. J'essaie deux distributeurs différents, rien. Je me dis OK je vais appeler le service client. Et là, SURPRISE : on est lundi et la Caisse d'Épargne, du samedi soir au mardi, il n'y a AUCUN moyen de les contacter. Rien. 0. Le seul numéro qui fonctionne c'est pour faire opposition. Sinon ? Débrouille-toi. J'essaie tout ce que je peux, rien ne marche. Trois jours sans pouvoir retirer du cash et sans pouvoir parler à qui que ce soit pour régler le problème lol Et c'est là que ça devient intéressant Quelques jours avant, j'avais reçu ma Krak Card, la carte de @Krak par @krakenfx_FR , parce que je devais tourner une vidéo dessus. Je m'en rappelle parce que j'avais déjà écrit les principales fonctionnalités à dire dans am vidéo et je savais qu'il y avait cette fonctionnalité de retrait cash (mais j'avais pas trouver ça hyper pertinent et bien l'histoire m'a prouvé le contraire mdr). Les gars, littéralement en 5 minutes : je rentre chez moi, j'ouvre l'enveloppe, je sors la carte, je scanne le QR code pour l'activer, je fais un virement instantané depuis mon compte principal, je reçois l'argent direct, je descends au distributeur en bas de chez moi et JE RETIRE DU CASH. Comme ça. En 5 min. Je vous jure que j'ai jamais été aussi contente d'avoir une carte crypto mdr. Ça m'a littéralement sauvée. Bon OK j'aurais pu payer mon ami un autre jour mais ça m'embêtait de pas être à jour dans mes paiements. Et surtout ce qui m'a bluffée c'est que Krak fait déjà ce qu'une banque traditionnelle n'est pas capable de faire. Genre ta banque est injoignable pendant 3 jours et toi t'es bloquée, mais une app crypto te sort de la galère en 5 min. Autant je suis en collaboration commerciale avec @krakenfx_FR , autant je vous assure que ce cas d'utilisation je l'avais pas du tout anticipé et ce post est SPONTANÉ. Bref, tout ça pour dire que c'est toujours bien d'avoir une carte en backup chez soi, ça coûte rien. Je vous mets mon lien si jamais vous voulez la vôtre : krak.sjv.io/en17qj PS : la caisse d'épargne vous êtes des 🤡

Working with @veda_labs has been a blast. Empowering clients globally with high-yield savings equivalents is a big step forward for consumer finance. Give it a try on @Krak!
"The worlds between traditional finance and crypto are converging at an increasingly rapid rate," explains Krak PM @jaredrblake Here's how neobank apps like @Krak are meeting the moment with vaults:

Everything is money on @Krak, whether that be cash or crypto. We believe our clients should be empowered to choose the store of value that’s right for them. Krak facilitates the rest.
"You can't trade equities 24/7. You can't use them in a self-custodial wallet. You can't buy $5 or $10 easily. You can't use it as money with a card. We have that on the Kraken app now. All sorts of things you used to solely do with crypto, you can now do with equities as well." @marklg, VP of Consumer Products at @krakenfx, at @consensus_hk CoinDesk Live in partnership with @Hex_Trust
