From now on, Binance users will find it much easier to turn fiat into crypto.
“Binance is thrilled to enable debit and credit card payments for cryptocurrencies through our new partnership with Simplex,” according to the official announcement.
The exciting news says that “As part of Binance’s larger mission to increase the adoption and mainstream accessibility of crypto, Binancians are now able to use Visa and MasterCard to buy BTC, ETH, LTC, and XRP, and start trading on Binance.com within minutes.”
The fees are 3.5% for each transaction, and the minimum charge is of $10.

The option is disabled in some countries including Cuba, Libya, Iraq Afghanistan and in the US all states are supported but six of them: New York, Connecticut, Hawaii, Georgia, New Mexico, and Washington excluded.
