Binance has suspended card-based withdrawals for users in Ukraine, according to a notice sent to customers this week.
What changed for Ukrainian users
The change took effect Monday.
It includes a temporary halt of direct withdrawals to bank cards issued by Visa and Mastercard.
A Binance spokesperson said the update applies “exclusively to users from Ukraine who previously used Bifinity services.”
Bifinity exit and impacted features
On Dec. 15, Binance told users that its fiat payment provider, Bifinity UAB, would stop offering services by the end of the month due to regulatory changes.
Binance said at the time that some fiat on- and off-ramp methods would be affected, while deposits, withdrawals, and buying or selling bitcoin would continue.
Ukrainian outlets also reported that recurring purchases and existing fiat-based limit buy orders will not be processed during the suspension period.
Alternatives still available
Binance said Ukrainian users can still deposit funds and buy bitcoin using Visa and Mastercard for incoming transactions.
Apple Pay and Google Pay remain available for account top-ups.
Swift transfers continue to support both deposits and withdrawals.
The spokesperson added:
“The changes are not related to the National Bank of Ukraine and do not affect P2P operations, which continue to function as usual.”
