Registering a Binance account is very simple — the entire process takes just a few minutes. First, register on Binance now and follow the steps below after opening the registration page. After completing registration, we recommend downloading the Binance app for a more convenient mobile experience.
Registration Steps in Detail
Step 1: Choose your registration method
Binance supports both email and phone number registration. We recommend using an international email like Gmail or Outlook for better stability and faster verification code delivery. Chinese email services like QQ Mail or 163 Mail sometimes fail to receive verification codes. If you choose phone number registration, Chinese phone numbers are supported.
Step 2: Set your password
Your password must include uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and be at least 8 characters long. Use a strong password and don't reuse passwords from other platforms. A good password format example is "Abc123!@#xyz," mixing different character types. Using a password manager (like 1Password or Bitwarden) to generate and store complex passwords is recommended to prevent account theft from weak passwords.
Step 3: Enter a referral code
The registration page includes a referral code input field. Entering a referral code earns you a trading fee discount — a perk you shouldn't miss. Users who register through a referral link enjoy permanent fee rebate benefits. This offer can't be added retroactively if missed, so be sure to fill it in during registration.
Step 4: Complete verification
The system will send a verification code to your email or phone. Enter the code to complete basic registration. If you don't receive the code, check your spam folder, or wait 1-2 minutes and resend. Some regions may also require completing a simple puzzle verification.
Identity Verification (KYC)
After registration, we strongly recommend completing identity verification immediately. Unverified users face withdrawal limits and cannot access core features like C2C trading. For verification, prepare:
- A valid identity document (ID card, passport, or driver's license — any one will do)
- Clear document photos (ensure all four corners are visible, text is clear, and lighting is good)
- Facial recognition verification (operate in well-lit conditions, without hats or sunglasses)
The verification process typically passes automatic review within minutes. If review fails, common causes include blurry photos or document information blocked by fingers — simply retake and reupload. In rare cases, manual review is required, usually completed within 1-3 business days.
Post-Registration Security Settings
After successful account registration, set up the following security measures immediately — this step is crucial:
- Enable Google Authenticator: This is the most important security setting — a dynamic verification code is required for every login and operation. Download the Google Authenticator app, scan the QR code provided by Binance to bind it. Be sure to back up the key shown during binding — if your phone is lost, you'll need it to recover
- Bind a phone number: As an additional verification method to increase account security layers
- Set an anti-phishing code: Once set, all official emails from Binance will include this code, helping you identify phishing emails
- Enable withdrawal whitelist: Once enabled, withdrawals can only go to pre-added addresses — even if your account is compromised, this prevents assets from being transferred. A 24-hour cooldown applies after adding new addresses
Downloading the Binance App
Android users can download the APK installation package directly through the link provided in this article. iOS users need to use an overseas Apple ID to search for "Binance" in the App Store. If you don't have an overseas Apple ID, you can search online for tutorials on creating one, or use the TestFlight version.
First Deposit
After completing registration and verification, you can make your first deposit. The most common method is purchasing USDT through C2C trading using a bank card, Alipay, or WeChat. Go to the P2P trading page, select "Buy" USDT, choose your preferred payment method and a reputable merchant, and follow the prompts. For your first purchase, start small to familiarize yourself with the process before increasing the amount.
These security measures and operational steps will provide maximum protection for your account and assets. Once you've completed all the above steps, you're ready to start depositing and trading on Binance.
