According to the announcement, all transactions made outside of Europe that don’t involve the euro will incur a 2% transaction fee.
For instance, a French national who visits the Middle East and uses his Binance Card for transactions will get a 2% charge. However, if the same citizen visits another European country and pays for food, he will not incur the fee even if he didn’t pay via euros.
The announcement clarified:
“No foreign transaction or overseas ATM withdrawal fees will be charged in the following European countries where the local currency is not EUR: Aruba, Bulgaria, Curaçao, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Saint-Martin, and Sint Maarten.”
The same rule applies to ATM withdrawals, according to the official announcement on the Binance website.
Binance clarified that the only way for them to determine if a Binance Card user is from Europe is through its Know-Your-Customer (KYC) process. In addition, Binance did not explain why it is implementing the said fee for European customers.
