Binance has resumed allowing customers to add funds using Russian debit cards and Qiwi wallets, according to reports from DEA News. The exchange confirmed through its support channel that money can be deposited on the platform via a Russian card carried through Qiwi. It also notes that Visa, Mastercard, and other cards issued within Russia are supported for deposits.
Presently, residents of Russia cannot replenish their accounts in rubles. Reports indicate there is no fee for converting rubles into cryptocurrency, and withdrawal limits for ruble withdrawals range from 4,300 to 200,000 rubles. These details appear to reflect ongoing adjustments to payment options and limits for Russian users.
Earlier, Binance Crypto Exchange reportedly dropped a €10,000 limit for Russian accounts. Although Binance has not issued an official statement, technical support has suggested that such restrictions are not currently active. The history of these limits traces back to spring 2022, tied to the fifth EU sanctions package. At that time, Russian accounts carrying more than €10,000 were moved into a withdrawal-only mode, a status that has since evolved with the platform’s policy updates.
For users in Canada and the United States, the change means a shift in how Russian-linked funding methods can interact with Binance, along with an ongoing evaluation of local compliance rules and cross-border payment feasibility. In practice, customers should verify latest deposit pathways with Binance support before initiating transfers, and be mindful of any regional restrictions that may apply to ruble-based funding and international transfers. The evolving landscape underscores how sanctions and regional financial regulations influence what payment rails are available and under what terms. In all cases, users should ensure they are complying with local laws and platform policies when depositing funds or converting currencies, and should anticipate occasional shifts in supported methods as the platform adapts to regulatory changes.
