We’ve got some exciting news to make your crypto journey even smoother: PayPal is now a funding option for Kraken clients in the U.S. That means you can deposit USD and start trading in just a few taps — no wires, no wait and definitely no bank logins.
If you use PayPal, you’re already halfway there
Chances are, you’ve used PayPal before — to shop online, send a friend some cash or maybe split dinner. Now, you can use that same PayPal account to fund your Kraken wallet instantly. Whether you prefer using your PayPal balance, linked bank account or card, it’s all good to go.
No more typing in your bank credentials. No third-party login pop-ups. Just fast, familiar funding from a platform you already trust.
Why PayPal?
Because it just works.
Adding PayPal as a deposit method is part of our mission to make crypto easier for everyone — especially if you’re new or just crypto-curious. With instant deposits available 24/7, you can jump into the market when the moment feels right without getting stuck in banking delays.
It’s secure. It’s intuitive. It’s kind of a no-brainer if you’re already using PayPal day-to-day.
The U.S. joins the EU, U.K. and Australia… and we’re not done
This isn’t PayPal’s first crypto rodeo. Kraken clients in the EU, U.K. and Australia have already been enjoying this feature and now it’s your turn, U.S. More countries coming soon.
Fun fact: During our soft launch, clients moved over $1 million through PayPal deposits. And that was without a single marketing push. Just word of mouth and a lot of happy users.
What happens after you deposit?
That’s when the real fun starts. Once your USD is in your Kraken account, you can:
- Trade 400+ cryptocurrencies
- Use Kraken Pro for advanced features or the Kraken App for crypto on the go
- Stake, earn rewards or send money using Kraken Pay
No friction. No delays. Just possibilities.
