Binance’s Signature Bank Bans Crypto Trading Transfers Under $100,000
The world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, has announced that some users would no longer be able to use SWIFT bank transfers for crypto transactions under $100,000 due to issues with one of its partner banks.
h2 Minimum SWIFT Transfer on Binance Now $100k/h2In an email, Binance informed some of its users that they would no longer be able to complete SWIFT transfers of less than $100,000 after February 1st. Binance explained that the decision was due to its banking partner.
Binance clarified all users looking to buy or sell crypto under $100,000 via the SWIFT payment system had been affected. However, customers can still use their credit or debit cards to buy or sell cryptocurrencies.
Because the new decision was reached by the bank and not Binance, every other trading platform using Signature Bank (NASDAQ:SBNY) to process SWIFT transfers would similarly be affected.
h2 Binance is in the Market for a New Banking Partner/h2Confirming that 0.01% of the exchange’s average monthly users are serviced by Signature Bank, Binance says it is “actively working” to find an alternative solution for the SWIFT USD situation.
Binance also explained that no other banking partners are impacted. The exchange adds that this change will not affect all Corporate Account clients, only retail client accounts.
h2 On the Flipside/h2The banking partner, Signature, has reportedly been reducing its exposure to crypto, as traditional financial institutions protect themselves from crypto contagion.
