Binance Taps Worldpay to Enable Apple Pay, Google Pay Integration

Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, has partnered with global payment technology giant Worldpay to integrate Apple Pay and Google Pay into its fiat onramp infrastructure. With this collaboration, users can now buy crypto through their existing debit and credit cards connected to digital wallets on both desktop and the Binance app.

This development comes shortly after Binance secured a record-breaking $2 billion investment from Abu Dhabi-based tech investor MGX, showing renewed institutional confidence in Binance's long-term vision. MGX plans to advance AI-blockchain integration by building on Binance's infrastructure.

According to Binance, this integration improves access for both experienced users and underbanked populations globally. As Nabil Manji, Head of FinTech Growth at Worldpay, noted, the partnership allows users to explore crypto with the same ease and assurance they enjoy in e-commerce.

The strategy centers on simple access, particularly in regions with low credit card usage but widespread mobile adoption. New users can now be onboarded into the Web3 ecosystem with the tap of a phone; no banking infrastructure is required.

The introduction of these two widely used digital wallets also supports Binance's broader vision for fiat channels. In 2024, the exchange expanded its fiat and P2P infrastructure across 20 new countries, rolled out mobile money integration in nine African nations, and added 18 new fiat channels tailored for both retail and corporate clients.

Binance has joined a growing movement of crypto payment innovations, following the launch of Zebec Network's crypto debit card developed in collaboration with Mastercard. The card, launched on March 27, allows seamless spending of stablecoins like USDC wherever Mastercard is accepted and offers features like zero fees, instant activation, and full Apple Pay and Google Pay compatibility.

The card, supported by MetaMask, Floki, and Avalanche, aims to make digital assets more accessible and user-friendly for mainstream adoption. As the barriers between traditional and digital currencies continue to dissolve, these partnerships may ultimately determine whether cryptocurrencies remain largely speculative assets or become embedded in everyday financial transactions.
