According to the company’s latest blog, Binance, the biggest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, has made an announcement on its support for Mastercard credit and debit cards in the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (EEA) for the sell-crypto-for-fiat feature.
After completing the necessary steps to verify their accounts, customers may now sell any cryptocurrency in exchange for fiat currency. In addition, customers have the ability to instantaneously transfer received amounts to credit or debit cards issued by Visa or Mastercard.
These functions are made accessible on Binance via the services of third-party partners with whom Binance occasionally collaborates. Binance does not directly supply these features. According to Binance, it is essential to keep in mind that all of the dealings take place locally and that there is no transfer of funds to another country.
