How Kinetic Is Empowering High-Risk Industries to Spend and Grow Without Prejudice
In the global economy, not all industries are treated equally, especially when it comes to
accessing financial services. High-risk sectors, even those operating within fully regulated environments and in good faith, are often subject to disproportionate scrutiny, banking
restrictions, and excessive fees. This systemic bias doesn’t just limit growth, it actively penalises legitimate individuals and businesses based solely on the nature of their profession or clientele
For years, professionals in industries such as adult entertainment, digital trading, gaming, luxury goods, and decentralised finance have faced repeated financial roadblocks: blocked bank accounts, rejected card applications, payment processing shutdowns, and arbitrary risk-based surcharges. Often, they are left navigating a maze of compliance checks and opaque decisions, despite having no legal violations, no sanctions, and no adverse history
At Kinetic, we believe this model is broken. And we’ve set out to fix it.
A World of Unfair Risk Labelling
The term “high-risk” is regularly applied across a wide spectrum of industries, often with little regard to actual business conduct. This classification is usually driven by outdated reputational models used by banks and card acquirers, who filter risk based on sector stereotypes rather than data.
The result? A web developer in Serbia, an adult content creator in the UK, or a crypto trader in Dubai might find themselves locked out of simple financial tools, not because of misconduct, but because their industry is flagged on a bank’s internal risk list.
Many of these individuals operate under robust compliance frameworks, declare earnings, and follow AML requirements. But still, they’re denied fair access to the financial system.
Kinetic’s Approach: Judgement-Free, Regulated Access
Kinetic was built with a radically different philosophy: judge the individual, not the industry.
We onboard customers based on three key criteria:
1. You are not operating from a sanctioned country
2. You are not personally sanctioned
3. You do not have serious adverse media or criminal convictions
If you meet these conditions, we’ll treat you as we would any other customer—with no inflated margins, no hidden conditions, and no discriminatory onboarding filters.
We believe digital entrepreneurs, decentralised workers, and modern businesses deserve access to real-world financial tools without systemic bias. Our platform provides virtual and physical cards connected to the world’s most robust payment rails (VISA & Mastercard), allowing customers to spend digital assets seamlessly—globally, instantly, and without friction.
Real-World Case Studies: Who We Support and How
Kinetic cards are available in both virtual form, compatible with Apple Pay and Google Pay, and as physical VISA cards, giving users the freedom to spend however they choose.
Crypto Natives: Liquidating Gains Without Banking Roadblocks
Challenge: Long-term crypto investors and digital asset natives often hold significant value in BTC, ETH, USDT and other tokens, but accessing that wealth for everyday use is anything but simple. Traditional banks reject crypto-related deposits, centralised exchanges impose withdrawal limits, and most crypto card providers enforce country locks, low spend ceilings, or freeze cards when used abroad. Despite their financial strength, these users struggle to liquidate and spend their gains without friction or delay.
Kinetic Solution: Kinetic provides a seamless bridge between digital asset portfolios and global real-world spending. Users can load major cryptocurrencies directly onto a virtual or physical Kinetic card, compatible with Apple Pay and Google Pay, spend globally through VISA payment rails. With high monthly deposit limits, no artificial country restrictions, and robust card stability, crypto natives can now enjoy immediate, unrestricted access to their digital earnings, anywhere in the world.
Cam Models & Adult Content Creators
Challenge: Many cam professionals are paid in USDT or other digital assets, yet find themselves locked out of banking services or subject to high-fee processing gateways. Cards are frequently frozen due to industry classification.
Kinetic Solution: We provide virtual and physical cards with full Apple Pay and Google Pay compatibility, allowing performers to pay for groceries, subscriptions, travel, and personal expenses without fear of prejudice or card freezes.
Freelancers in IT, Development & Design
Challenge: Freelancers working with international clients often choose crypto payments to avoid cross-border fees and delays. However, traditional financial institutions consider these unpredictable income sources “non-compliant.”
Kinetic Solution: Freelancers can now receive crypto payments from clients and spend
directly through Kinetic’s cards, converting assets instantly and avoiding banking
gatekeepers altogether. No minimum monthly income or credit history required.
Crypto & Commodities Traders
Challenge: Traders generating earnings through decentralised exchanges or commodity trades often encounter problems when attempting to off-ramp profits. Legacy providers struggle with the compliance complexity of decentralised finance.
Kinetic Solution: We accept trading-related wallets and allow seamless conversion to card spend, enabling traders to move from profit to purchase instantly, no withdrawal bottlenecks or conversion delays.
Luxury Property Sales & High-Value Real Estate
Challenge: Real estate professionals accepting crypto deposits or sales payments face difficulties converting or using that value for daily business operations. Banks flag large crypto transactions, often leading to frozen funds or lengthy explanations.
Kinetic Solution: Agents and developers can use Kinetic cards to draw on their crypto assets for travel, materials, business expenses, and more – without relying on volatile off-ramp paths.
Online Casino Operators
Challenge: Running a compliant online casino that pays out in crypto comes with serious restrictions, particularly when distributing rewards or bonuses to players who prefer digital assets. Most card programmes do not support this.
Kinetic Solution: Kinetic provides tailored cards that allow verified players to receive rewards directly onto a branded VISA card, which can be spent globally. No third-party intermediaries. No conversion delays.
Luxury Goods & High-Ticket Retail
Challenge: Merchants selling watches, designer goods, vehicles, or collectibles often accept crypto from high-net-worth individuals, but struggle to reinvest or use that crypto in their supply chain due to payment bottlenecks.
Kinetic Solution: Sellers can spend received digital assets via their Kinetic card to pay suppliers, contractors, or travel, without needing to off-ramp to fiat or maintain complex exchange accounts.
Property Developers Operating Cross-Border
Challenge: Developers working across jurisdictions often accept investor crypto and pay international vendors. Legacy banks require excessive due diligence, sometimes months of paperwork, and still reject applications due to perceived risk.
Kinetic Solution: Kinetic provides clean, multi-currency access via crypto cards, allowing developers to streamline operations, move capital, and pay contractors quickly, without sacrificing compliance.
