When most people hear “Binance,” they immediately think of crypto trading, tokens, and digital wallets. Binance is making news in Mexico, but with something different, and it is not only about crypto.
The company has set up Medá, a licensed IFPE (Electronic Payment Funds Institution) in Mexico.
What is Medá?
Medá is a Mexican fintech firm established by Binance to process fiat transactions in Mexican pesos. It is an interface between the real money (pesos) and the online space. Medá is more of a financial service provider. Its primary purpose is to assist the population in depositing and withdrawing pesos.
Binance introduces Medá, an authorized Electronic Payment Funds Institution (IFPE) in Mexico, as part of a planned investment of more than one billion pesos ($53 million) over four years. Medá will provide fiat deposit and withdrawal services. https://t.co/sFKPbMulqs
