Binance Suspends Withdrawals to Cards in Ukraine: What Users Should Do.

According to ТСН: The largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance changed its operating conditions in Ukraine on December 29, 2025, temporarily suspending direct withdrawals to VISA and MasterCard bank cards.

The company sent an important message to Ukrainian users about changes in the platform's operation. From December 29, Binance updated the rules for using fiat channels, suspending a number of services. The most significant innovation was the pause in direct withdrawals to cards.

What Has Become Unavailable Since December 29?

• Withdrawals to cards: direct crediting of funds to VISA/MasterCard is temporarily disabled until further notice.

• Recurring Buy: automatic regular cryptocurrency purchases are no longer being executed.

• Limit orders for fiat purchases: previously created requests have been canceled.

What Continues to Work?

Binance notes that account replenishments remain available without changes. Users can:

• replenish balances and buy cryptocurrency using VISA/MasterCard (only incoming transactions);

• use Apple Pay and Google Pay for depositing funds;

• make SWIFT transfers for both account replenishment and withdrawals.

What is the Situation with Zen.com?

The payment service Zen.com, popular for transactions in euros, zlotys, and other currencies, remains available. However, its full operation for deposits and withdrawals is expected to be restored by January 6, 2026.

Users who need to withdraw money urgently will have to resort to SWIFT transfers or use alternatives like P2P trading, if available in their region, since direct withdrawals to cards are currently blocked.

The National Bank of Ukraine has also introduced a round-the-clock service for tracking bank transfers in the electronic payment system (EPS), allowing senders and recipients to monitor the movement of funds by IBAN details in real time.

This change in Binance's operation is prompted by the need to adapt to new financial regulatory conditions. Users are advised to stay updated and use available alternative ways to withdraw funds. As can be seen, despite the restrictions, the platform continues to operate, offering other services to users, providing some stability during challenging times.
