What Is Binance Pay? 

Binance Pay is a cryptocurrency payment solution developed by Binance. It allows users to make payments with cryptocurrency at participating merchants or send cryptocurrency to friends and family globally. Binance Pay supports over 300 cryptocurrencies for transfers to individuals and more than 80 cryptocurrencies for merchant payments. The service is accessible through both the Binance application and website.

Recently, Binance Pay formed a partnership with xMoney, a European Web3 payment provider, to expand cryptocurrency payment options for both businesses and consumers. This collaboration connects Binance Pay users with xMoney’s merchant network, streamlining transactions by enabling direct payments from Binance accounts and improving the overall payment experience.
