What is Pay and how does it work?
Pay is a peer-to-peer payment feature that allows Binance.US customers to send and receive crypto from other Binance.US users. Pay transactions feature zero transaction fees and settle instantly, no matter what cryptocurrency you transact with. The feature is free to use with no fees.
Pay eliminates the need to enter a complex withdrawal or deposit address, pay gas fees, or wait an unspecified amount of time for your transaction to successfully settle.
