 Binance cryptocurrency exchange customers are allegedly facing troubles with fiat <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="withdrawal" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/withdrawal.html">withdrawal</a>s in Europe due to <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="issues" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/issues.html">issues</a> related to the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) transfers. 
 The exchange has allegedly suspended euro <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="withdrawal" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/withdrawal.html">withdrawal</a>s and deposits via SEPA, Binance’s customer support wrote&nbsp;in a now-deleted message on X (formerly Twitter) on Aug. 20. 
 In the now-deleted message, the cryptocurrency exchange said it doesn’t have a specific time frame for restoring SEPA transfers, adding that its payment provider “can no longer support these transactions.” 
 “We understand the inconvenience this has caused, and we're actively working to resolve this as soon as possible,” Binance said in a tweet that has since been deleted.

 The statement came in response to an alleged Binance user in Europe, who claimed to have bought a “large amount of EUR on Binance” a few days ago. The alleged client complained about being unable to withdraw the euros to their bank account or sell them on Binance due to the closure of their Paysafe account. The user added: 
 <blockquote>
 “According to customer support there is nothing I can do about it except waiting for Binance to find a new payment provider. Letting users buy EUR, just to block them from accessing it right afterwards is what you would expect from scam exchanges, not Binance.” 
 </blockquote> 
 The news comes a few months after Binance informed users that its current euro banking partner, Paysafe Payment Solutions, would discontinue supporting the crypto exchange.&nbsp;

 “Users will need to update the banking details used to deposit to their Binance accounts and may be required to accept new terms and conditions to continue using SEPA services after this date,” Binance said at the time. 
 In a written response to Cointelegraph, Binance said the customer support message on Twitter/X was "sent in error," adding that the "SEPA deposit and withdrawal service will continue until 25 September as originally communicated."
