– Euro transactions via SEPA will be available for Binance customers until September 25, according to Paysafe.

– Paysafe, a UK-based company specializing in online payments, offers businesses embedded digital wallets and reported $179 million in revenue from its digital wallets segment in Q2 of this year.
Binance Faces Regulatory Scrutiny as it Maintains SEPA Services
