Binance has announced the launch of direct USD deposits and withdrawals in select regions through BPay Global, a provider licensed by the Central Bank of Bahrain. The service includes zero-fee SWIFT deposits, instant card and wallet funding, and a limited-time exchange rate of 1 USD to 1 USDC.

According to Binance's official announcement, this rollout allows eligible users to fund, store, and convert USD directly within their fiat wallet. This initiative aims to streamline on- and off-ramps between traditional banking systems and cryptocurrency. The service is powered by BPay Global, which is licensed and regulated by the Central Bank of Bahrain. Binance describes this move as part of its broader effort to reduce costs and friction for global users transitioning between fiat currencies and digital assets.

Binance’s support materials indicate that USD deposits via SWIFT incur no fees from Binance. Instant funding options include credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. The documentation provides an in-app activation flow for BPay along with step-by-step instructions for card and bank transfers. These details suggest that the company is focusing on both speed and cost efficiency across various payment methods.
