The team behind Binance's official crypto storage Trust Wallet has made a major announcement. CoinDesk reports that the wallet will now enable users to make credit and debit card purchases.
Back in January, Binance itself announced that it would be allowing users of the trading platform to purchase crypto with credit or debit cards. This was due to a new partnership with Israeli payments processing firm Simplex, which will also be providing the technology for Trust Wallet users to have the same functionality.
