World’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance has released a new update on both naira deposit and withdrawal fees. The company also hiked transaction limits for both nominal and active Nigerian users on its platform.
According to a blog post published on the Binance platform, the daily transaction limit for nominal users within Nigeria was increased from 2 million naira to 5 million naira while the daily transaction limit for active users was increased from 5 million naira to 18.7 million naira.
In addition, the most used crypto exchange platform in Africa also released a new fee structure for naira deposit and withdrawal, with a minimum fee of N100 and 0.50% on any amount between N1,000 to N50,000.

A statement posted on the company’s platform partly read, “Binance has updated the deposit and withdrawal fees for Nigerian Naira (NGN), and increased the corresponding transaction limits for NGN”.
“Additionally, Binance will be increasing the transaction limit of users from 2,000,000 NGN to 5,000,000 NGN per transaction. The daily limit for active transactions will also be increased from 5,000,000 NGN to 18,750,000 NGN”.
