Binance Pay: Borderless Crypto Payments

Introducing Binance Pay function and Merchant Program

Binance Pay is a contactless, borderless and secure user-to-user cryptocurrency payment feature on the Binance App. Following the soft launch of Binance Pay last month, the service now features the Pay and merchant functions allowing users to pay, send and receive crypto payments around the world without incurring any fees.

Binance has launched this recent Pay feature to allow payments to occur in an easy, convenient, and secure manner and make crypto more part of people’s daily lives to increase adoption and utility. Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) shares how Binance Pay is one step further towards the way the future of payments will flow and further realizing the benefits of crypto’s freedom of money potential. 

“Traditional payment infrastructure services are riddled with high transaction fees; we see this Pay product as a way to solve one of the many issues and limitations of traditional finance,” said CZ. “Finance is truly moving towards a digital world and economy where crypto is at the crux of this change which benefits the larger global population that needs it.”

CZ continued, “Binance Pay will be part of our long-term development to complete the crypto journey and allow people to live in crypto, especially with digital payments being an integral part of everyone’s daily lives.”

Last February, Binance released the beta version of Binance Pay exclusively for peer-to-peer payments. During this phase, about 250,000 users interacted and experienced Binance Pay. Today, Binance Pay is available for both peer-to-peer payments and merchant-based transactions.
