What is now available to users? European users of Binance, except for customers in Switzerland and the Netherlands, now have access to deposits and withdrawals in euros and British pounds. The platform uses the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) and Faster Payment Services (FPS) for this purpose.

What are the advantages of the platforms? SEPA and FPS will allow European customers to make transfers in euros and pounds through bank accounts. Binance has stated that new deposits and withdrawals will be made through a partnership with UK payments company Paysafe.

What had happened before? Binance had already restricted access to the cardholders of Russian banks hit by sanctions. The South Korean crypto exchanges and the developers of the MetaMask cryptocurrency wallet joined the economic restrictions against Russia. The exchanges such as Kuna, WhiteBIT, and CEX.io completely blocked users from the Russian Federation.
