Binance is shutting down its crypto-powered Visa debit card in Europe.

The top global crypto exchange by trading volume says Binance Card services will stop working in the European Economic Area (EEA) in December.

Binance notes that customer accounts won’t be impacted. The exchange urges European customers to transition to Binance Pay, the company’s crypto payment technology.
