Binance has recently announced the temporary suspension of EUR deposits and withdrawals through SEPA, which stands for Single Euro Payments Area. This payment initiative is a Euro-integrated payment system implemented by the European Union to facilitate simplified bank transfers in Euro currency.

We regret to inform you that we have temporarily suspended the withdrawal and deposit of EUR funds via the SEPA system, which pertains to the matter you raised. Unfortunately, our provider no longer supports this transaction. We understand the inconvenience caused and are actively working towards resolving this issue as soon as possible.

Currently, we do not have a precise timeline for the restoration of SEPA transfer system. While waiting for its resumption, we suggest alternative methods for trading cryptocurrencies. You may utilize your Visa card through our platform.

In a separate statement, a representative from Binance has indicated that as September 25th approaches, some users may be requested to furnish additional information as part of the compliance verification process, which could result in the early closure of their accounts. Additionally, Binance has affirmed that it will provide alternative options for users before the SEPA service ceases to operate, thereby ensuring uninterrupted access to its platform. The tone of the statement is formal and informative.
