- Dedicated spend and earn accounts: Seamlessly make payments and earn rewards with no lock-up periods, no minimum contributions, or subscriptions needed. At launch, eligible users can earn up to 4.1% rewards on USDG stablecoin balances, as well as additional earning opportunities across 20+ digital assets up to 10%.
- What the future holds for Krak:
- The release of physical and virtual Krak cards, unlocking seamless spending at millions of merchants worldwide, both online and in-store, using fiat currencies and cryptoassets in the Krak app.
- A range of pay-in-advance services, ranging from lending to loans and credit card programs.
