Crypto payment platform Baanx has announced it now supports BNB, the utility token linked to Binance, on its Crypto Life Card—a move that significantly expands BNB’s real-world use beyond trading and DeFi applications.
The integration allows users to top up their Crypto Life Card with BNB, enabling them to spend the token at more than 100 million merchants worldwide that accept Mastercard and Visa.
Baanx, which has existing partnerships with Mastercard, Visa, and Circle, said the feature will roll out across the UK, EU, and LATAM regions in June, with U.S. availability to follow.
“We’re building bridges between digital and traditional finance, not with empty promises, but with real products people can use,” said Simon Jones, Chief Commercial Officer at Baanx.
The move represents a meaningful step for the BNB Chain ecosystem, offering its users broader utility beyond centralized and decentralized trading. As crypto payment solutions continue to expand, Baanx’s integration underscores the growing role of blockchain tokens in everyday commerce and cross-border financial accessibility.
