After enduring prolonged disruptions that affected European users, Binance, a prominent cryptocurrency exchange, has triumphantly reinstated its euro services. This turnaround comes on the heels of service termination by PaySafe, which had caused significant inconveniences. Binance has now secured new fiat partners to seamlessly facilitate euro payments, deposits, and withdrawals.
In a statement released on October 19, Binance revealed that it has entered into agreements with these new partners, marking a crucial step in overcoming the regulatory and debanking challenges it faced in the European Union. The loss of PaySafe’s support in September prompted Binance to seek alternative banking partners.
While specific details about the new fiat partners were not disclosed, Binance assured users that the services are provided by “a number of new regulated and authorized fiat partners.” The renewed services encompass a range of offerings, including EUR deposits and withdrawals facilitated through Open Banking and SEPA/SEPA Instant. Users can also engage in crypto transactions, buying and selling through SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area), bank cards, and fiat balances, along with trading EUR spot pairs.
This announcement follows Binance’s proactive approach in late September, where it advised European users to convert their euros into Tether before the end of October. However, the latest update indicates that the urgency for such conversions may no longer be necessary, as the exchange has successfully established new partnerships to restore seamless euro functionality.
The crypto community awaits further details on the identity of Binance’s new fiat partners, as the exchange takes strides to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape and ensure uninterrupted services for its European user base.
