Although Binance has withdrawn from the mainland China market, a large number of Chinese users continue to use it. This article provides a comprehensive guide for mainland users. First, register on Binance now, then download the Binance app to your phone.
Accessing Binance
Mainland users may need network tools to access the Binance website. Recommendations:
- Use a stable network acceleration tool to ensure connection reliability and security
- Bookmark Binance's latest backup domains, as Binance periodically updates accessible URLs
- Once the app is downloaded, it can be used directly — some features don't require additional network tools
- If the app can't load data properly, switching to mobile data or changing your network node usually resolves the issue
Registration and Verification
- Register with an international email like Gmail; domestic emails also work but international ones tend to be more reliable
- Prepare your ID card for KYC verification — ensure document information is clear and complete in photos
- Binance supports mainland Chinese ID card verification; the process usually takes minutes to hours
- Once verified, all features are available, including C2C trading, spot trading, futures trading, and more
Common registration issues: If you don't receive the verification email, check your spam folder. If you can't receive SMS codes when registering with a phone number, switch to email registration. KYC failures are usually due to unclear photos or incomplete document information — simply retake and resubmit.
Depositing Funds
The most common deposit methods for mainland users:
C2C Trading (Recommended): On Binance's C2C market, select a verified merchant to buy USDT using Alipay, WeChat Pay, or a bank card. Choose merchants with high transaction counts and good ratings. Steps: Go to C2C page > select USDT > choose purchase amount > select merchant > follow the merchant's payment instructions > wait for the merchant to release coins.
C2C trading tips:
- Prioritize platform-certified blue-shield merchants — these are rigorously vetted
- Don't include any crypto-related terms in payment notes
- Complete confirmations within the platform — don't communicate outside the platform
- For large deposits, split into multiple transactions of reasonable amounts
On-chain transfers: If you hold crypto on other platforms, transfer directly to your Binance wallet address. Make sure to select the correct network (ERC20, TRC20, BEP20, etc.) — selecting the wrong network could result in lost assets.
Withdrawing Funds
C2C selling: Sell your cryptocurrency on the C2C market, receiving RMB to your Alipay, WeChat Pay, or bank card.
Important notes:
- Trade with reputable merchants; check their transaction history and reviews
- Don't accept transfers from unknown sources — cancel if the amount seems abnormal
- Keep individual transaction amounts reasonable — don't go too large
- Avoid frequent transactions that might trigger bank risk controls — consider using a dedicated bank card
- Confirm and release coins promptly after receiving payment — don't delay
