Having the option to buy using creditcards is definitely good; even though I've read somewhere that Coinbase is actually cheaper than Binance when buying BTC using fiat. But whatever; good news nontheless. I'm just wondering how they're going to fight back the potential credit card fraud and stuff, also knowing that KYC isn't required on Binance.

This.

Is it actually enabled for non-verified accounts? - Can't find anything about it?

I can only imagine the amount of chargebacks that'll be done if they allow it to be used on NON-Kyc verified accounts.
Which kind of makes me wonder if they will try to push KYC verification on every account anytime soon, although, i guess i'm just slightly paranoid..

Aparently, you do require to send your ID info before buying it with credit/debit card.

According to Binance’s FAQ, this is the 8th step:

Quote

Upload your document to verify your identity

- It is a valid government issued ID
- It contains an expiry date
- It contains your date of birth
- It contains your name
- Document and the picture should be in color
- The picture should be in high quality: make sure the photo is not blurry and the lighting is bright enough
- All 4 corners of the document should be visible, for example- when you open your passport you will have 2 pages in front of you. Both pages should appear in the photo
It has to be in English
- The photo should be in JPG format. PDF will not be accepted
- The files must be smaller than 4 MB each

So, I assume it’s only for KYC-verified users.

That's actually a seriously competitive rate for credit card buys... but it does seem pretty steep for debit purchases (which is cash and not reversible, at least in my jurisdiction). Like you said, though, everyone almost who started offering it eventually stopped. Just not sure how long they will be able to sustain that. Expect chargeback rates to start soaring - and not all will be from malicious customers either. Just the nature of credit purchases.

The vast majority of exchanges that at some point accepted credit cards charged very high rates or stopped accepting after a certain period.
I hope Binance will not make either of these two cases. And that this new service helps to reverse the price with more fiat in the market.
