Uquid.com Teams Up With Binance Pay to Offer No-Fee Crypto Payments

eCommerce platform Uquid.com, which has more than 2 million products available for sale, has integrated with Binance Pay to allow users to buy more than 40 digital tokens without fees, according to a PVP Live report Monday (Jan. 31).

Uquid’s eCommerce and decentralized finance (DeFi) platform accepts about 100 tokens and the firm is considering expanding the reach of its DeFi shopping network beyond the Ethereum blockchain. Uquid.com also offers what it calls “Buy Now and Pay later (BNPL) by Crypto” to customers, allowing them to spread out their payments into installments with no extra fees.

Uquid.com has embraced the metaverse through a Web3 smart online shopping experience, including staking points, shopping mining, merchant token airdrops, earning rewards and more.

The eCommerce platform also plans to increase its physical products from 2 million to more than 5 million this year, the report says, and is looking to expand its payment solutions to DeFi networks including Binance Smart Chain and Cardano.

Meanwhile, Binance has resumed its acceptance of deposits from the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), ending a months-long freeze. The reinstatement started with customers in Belgium and Bulgaria before it moves on to other countries in the next several weeks.

SEPA lets users make cashless euro payments to payees in the European Union along with multiple nations outside the EU. Binance announced in July it was suspending euro bank deposits from the SEPA network, due to “events beyond our control.”

A Binance spokesperson said the company is working with London-based payments platform Paysafe to make sure Binance can continue offering SEPA payments “for the foreseeable future.” Paysafe said the partnership will include the company’s digital wallets technology.
