Last week, it was reported by Cryptopress that Binance crypto exchange has announced its Binance Card payment, referring to Visa as the card’s official issuer. However, it appears Binance has silently removed references to Visa from the various digital publications relating to the Binance card product.

Due to reasons yet to be known, the word ‘Visa’ has since been removed from the official announcement post, including a Visa logo from a card mock-up. The official blog post originally stated that: “The Binance Card is issued by Visa and accepted by more than 46 million merchants in 200 regions and territories, which makes shopping with crypto easier than ever before”.

However, the specific sentence as quoted above can no longer be found in the blog post, but has been rephrased into one that closely matches it. Now, the line reads: “The Binance Card will be accepted by more than 46 million merchants offline and online in 200 regions and territories, which makes shopping with crypto easier than ever before”.

These alterations were not only done in the official announcement, but also the official Binance Card website. The initial Binance Card mock-up had a Visa logo on it. However, when you visit the website now, the mock-up does not have a Visa logo anymore.

The Binance Card website had previously stated “Load up your Binance Card and pay with crypto at more than 46 million Visa merchants worldwide”. But now, the text reads “Load up your Binance Card and pay with crypto worldwide”.

Furthermore, a tweet from Binance’s official Twitter account that had mentioned Visa as an issuer of the Binance Card has been removed. You can have an archived version of the tweet here.

Binance has frequently appeared in the news in recent times. Starting from the recent acquisition of crypto data ranking site, CoinMarketCap, unveiling its own mining pool, and donations to support the recent COVID-19 crisis.
