Binance pauses card withdrawals for Ukrainian users

Binance has temporarily suspended card withdrawals for Ukrainian users only.

The suspension took effect this week following regulatory-linked payment changes.

Withdrawals to Visa and Mastercard issued cards are currently unavailable.

Binance said the pause applies solely to former Bifinity users.

The exchange cited regulatory changes affecting its fiat payment provider.

Binance previously warned Bifinity services would end later this month.

The company said crypto trading functions remain operational without disruption.

Ukrainian users can still deposit funds using Visa and Mastercard.

Apple Pay and Google Pay remain available for account top-ups.

Swift transfers continue supporting deposits and withdrawals during suspension period.

Recurring crypto purchases and existing fiat limit orders are paused.

Binance said the changes are unrelated to Ukraine’s central bank.

Peer-to-peer crypto trading continues to operate normally for users locally.

The update also impacts access to the Zen.com payment platform.

Binance expects Zen deposit and withdrawal services to resume January.

Until then users may rely on Swift transfers alternatives temporarily.

The changes come as Binance faces renewed international regulatory scrutiny.

A recent report alleged suspicious accounts continued processing large transactions.

Binance rejected the claims and defended its compliance assessments publicly.

The situation highlights how regulation shifts disrupt regional payment access.
