Euro Area increases interest rates to a high of 4.25%

cyptouser1 years agoSpot Exchanges230

Quick Take

The Euro Area has taken an assertive step towards controlling inflation, augmenting its rates by an additional 25 basis points (bps). This progression propels the current rate hiking cycle to an impressive 4.25%. Marking a notable surge, this level represents the highest rate observed since 2008.

Moreover, this significant interest rate adjustment follows nearly a decade of negative interest rates, underlining the magnitude of this financial policy change.

On the inflation front, the Euro Area is experiencing an annual inflation rate of 5.5%. Although this figure might seem high, it’s important to bear in mind the preceding era of negative interest rates that have shaped the financial climate for nearly ten years.

Binance begins limiting access to SEPA customers more than a month ahead of announced deadline

Binance has started the process of early account closures for a select group of its customers within the SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area). This move comes ahead of the previously announced termination of SEPA services on 25th September 2023 due to disruption with their EUR Fiat payments partner, Paysafe.

Several Binance users in the SEPA region reported receiving emails regarding the early closure of their accounts. According to an email sent to customers, specific “high frequency Paysafe services user[s],” these accounts would be closed early “to speed up the refunding process and to make sure that everything is in order,” before promising refunds “as soon as possible.”

A Binance spokesperson confirmed the early closures in a comment emailed to CryptoSlatae:

“The SEPA deposit and withdrawal service will continue until 25 September as originally communicated. As we approach that date, some users may occasionally be asked for more information as part of routine compliance checks, which could lead to early closure of their accounts. We apologize for the inconvenience and it is important to note that we will have alternatives for our users in place before the end of the SEPA service.”

Earlier reports had highlighted Binance’s plan to cut off SEPA services for its users by September 25th. This decision followed the company’s loss of its Euro payment partner and subsequent denial of licensing in Germany.
