Binance and Mastercard Launch Crypto Prepaid Card in Brazil as Part of Latam Expansion
Intercambio criptográfico líder Binance and credit card giant Mastercard have partnered to launch a prepaid crypto-linked card in Brazil as part of Binance’s expansion plans in Latam. The Binance card features 8% cashback for eligible purchases and supports on-the-fly conversion of 13 cryptocurrencies to make payments to local merchants.
Brazil Receives Binance Tarxeta prepago
Binance, a leading cryptocurrency exchange by volume traded, anunciado on Jan. 30 the launch of its Binance card in brazil, a product that will allow crypto users to make payments in crypto to legacy merchants. The card, which is backed by Mastercard, will enable registered customers of the exchange from all over Brazil to make crypto payments with 13 supported cryptocurrencies, including on-the-fly conversions to the Brazilian real.
The release of this product comes as no surprise to some, as Matthew Shroder, global vice president and regional director at Binance, tiña establecido en setembro que Brasil foi un dos principais mercados próximos para o lanzamento dunha tarxeta prepago en Latam.
Os pagos realizados con moeda fiduciaria utilizando a tarxeta prepago serán libres de comisións. Non obstante, os pagos que impliquen conversións de cripto a fiat terán unha comisión do 0.9%. Ademais, a tarxeta presenta un 8% de reembolso en criptografía que se aplica ás compras elixibles.
This move is part of the efforts that the exchange is making to expand its footprint in Latam. Brazil is the second market in which the instrument will be launched. Binance lanzado un produto similar en Arxentina primeiro, en agosto do ano pasado.
Achegando as criptos e os pagos
para Binance, there is room for crypto to keep growing in the payments area, and being Brazil is one of the biggest payments hubs on the continent, the interest in bringing these services to the country is clear. About the goals that Binance wants to achieve, Guilherme Nazar, general manager at Binance for Brazil, stated:
Payments is one of the first and most obvious use cases for crypto, yet adoption has a lot of room to grow. We believe the Binance Card is a significant step in encouraging wider crypto use and global adoption, and the openness of Brazilians to innovation makes the country a great market for this release.
Nazar explicou que Brasil era un dos mercados máis relevantes para o intercambio na zona e que a compañía seguirá investindo en traer novos servizos e contribuír á adopción de blockchain e cripto no país.
Binance hopes to expand this product to more markets but did not make specific announcements on this matter.
