Binance Pay is Binance's cryptocurrency payment and transfer feature — think of it as the "PayPal" of the crypto world. Through Binance Pay, you can transfer crypto to other Binance users with zero fees, and pay at partner merchants using cryptocurrency. Register on Binance to activate this feature for free.
