Binance exchange app download, registration, and funding tutorial | Latest 2025
- Download the Binance App
Let's start by downloading the Binance App. During the download process, we will cover both Android and Apple phone downloads.
Apple download
To download Binance on an Apple device, you need to have an overseas Apple ID. Previously, a US Apple ID could be used, but since Binance faced penalties, it has split into an international version and a US version, so we need to download the international version of Binance; otherwise, you won't be able to use it. You will need an overseas ID or an ID from the UK, Australia, etc. You can watch my previous articles to register for an overseas ID and successfully download the Binance software. If that doesn't work or seems too troublesome, you can also purchase an overseas Apple ID account on Taobao, which may be a bit more expensive, costing a few dozen yuan.
Open the Apple Store on your iPhone, click on the small person icon in the upper right corner, scroll down to the bottom, click [Sign Out], and then log in with your overseas ID.
If you are using an overseas ID like me, the text in the app will change to traditional Chinese, which may be a bit difficult to read, so please pay close attention. Click the magnifying glass icon in the lower right corner, enter "Binance" in the search bar, the first result will be an advertisement, so we select the traditional Chinese Binance option below, click to download and install, and wait a moment for the installation to complete.
Android download
Android users can download directly from the official site, ensuring safety. Generally, you can directly download and install. If you open it using WeChat, Alipay, or similar apps and nothing happens, you can click the three dots in the upper right corner and select to open in a browser. Then click the download button, and after the download is complete, click install.
- Register a Binance Account
We click on Binance to enter the app. If you are using a newly downloaded app, it will ask us to choose whether we are a cryptocurrency beginner or an experienced user; we will directly select "Experienced User." This is because the beginner mode is a simplified version, and many features will not be visible or usable, so we can just select experienced user. Then we click on [Register/Login] at the top and click "Create a Binance Account."
We click [Register via Email/Phone Number], enter your email address here, and then click [Next].
You will receive a verification code in your email; enter the verification code.
Next, it will prompt you to set a password. Enter it according to the requirements below and click [Next].
There is an optional invitation code here, which is very important. If you want to have a rebate on trading fees, you need to fill in my ID code here. Once filled in, it means you will have a permanent discount on fees for your Binance account.
- Binance Identity Verification
After registration, an option to enable the passkey will appear. This passkey is somewhat similar to using your phone's fingerprint and facial recognition features. Enabling it will make things more convenient, but it doesn't make much difference if you don't. I will click the X at the top to close it for now.
The system will automatically pop up a real-name verification window. This verification is mandatory; otherwise, you cannot buy coins. For the residence area, we directly select "Domestic" without changing it. Then click [Continue].
Next, you need to enter your name as it appears on your ID card or passport. This must be real; it should match the name on your actual document. Randomly entering a name will not pass verification and is irresponsible regarding your assets. Enter your name and click [Continue].
Continue to select your country and region; this must match what is written on your ID. Here we select domestic and click [Continue].
Enter your birth year and month, then click [Continue].
Next, it will ask you to choose whether to verify your identity using your ID card or passport. Use whichever you have; here we will demonstrate using [ID Card], click [Continue].
It will prompt you to take photos of the front and back of your ID card, click [Continue].
We use our phone to take pictures of the front and back of the ID card, then scan our face, completing the standard identity verification. Since one ID can only verify one account, I have already verified mine, so I will log into my verified account and continue with the explanation.
Now that I have logged into a verified account, we will go to the identity verification section to continue explaining. Click the small Binance icon in the upper left corner and click on your account.
Here you will see identity verification, showing "Verified." Click to enter. Here you will see that you have completed standard identity verification, and below it, there are limits on your account. The daily fiat currency deposit and withdrawal limit is 50K USD, which is 50,000 USD. The cryptocurrency deposit is unlimited, and the withdrawal limit for cryptocurrencies is stated as 8M USDT, which is 8 million USD, equivalent to 56 million RMB in cryptocurrency withdrawal amount, which I think is more than sufficient. The "Enable Advanced Identity Verification" option requires proof of address; we can click to see what is needed.
It requires providing proof of address and account verification. We click [Continue] to see what it asks us to fill in; you can see that domestic is grayed out and has already been changed. It will also ask you to select the continent, region, postal code, and city; we fill in the address and click [Continue].
It will ask you to select a bill that proves you live at your address, such as a bank statement, internet service bill, landline phone bill, etc. You can freely choose the type of document to submit. I do not want the exchange to know my extensive personal information, and since the daily withdrawal limit of 8 million USD in cryptocurrency is more than sufficient, I will not enable this advanced verification for now.
- Binance Account Security Settings
Now that we have registered and completed real-name verification, there are still some security risks with this account, so we need to perform a second identity verification. Click [Account Security] to make our assets a bit safer. Here we can see five options: passkey, authenticator app, email, password, and phone number; it is recommended to bind all five verification methods.
You can see that I already have green checks for the first three. The password and phone number were filled in during registration, so they are already bound. However, for some reason, there is no checkmark for them. We click on "Phone Number" to check, and we can see that we have a phone number.
We then click on "Password" to check, and it prompts us to change the password. This proves that we must have a password to change it. But for some reason, there is no green checkmark for it; we don't need to worry about that. Binding everything is certainly safer, so just like me, bind everything.
- On-chain Stablecoin Deposit
C2C Trading: In the "Recommended" section, there is a C2C option. If we want to add it to the shortcut keys, it's also very simple. We can click "Edit" on the shortcut keys, find C2C, click the small + sign in the upper right corner of C2C, and it will be added to our shortcut keys above.
After adding, you can see C2C pop up here. We return to the homepage and refresh; you can see that the shortcut keys will also be displayed at the top of the homepage. Of course, we need to add other functions in the shortcut area, which is a similar operation. We directly click [C2C] here on the homepage.
This enters a fiat currency trading interface. C2C means a person-to-person payment method, which is a common deposit method in the mainland crypto circle. We need to add a payment method first to deposit and withdraw normally. Click the three small dots in the upper right corner, select "Payment Method," and you can see that I have added bank cards, WeChat, and Alipay. We click [Add Payment Method] below to choose to add something.
For example, we click [Alipay]; the name is grayed out, and we cannot change it; it is your real-name registered name. You enter your Alipay account and can also upload an Alipay payment QR code. Click [Confirm] below to add successfully.
We select a bank debit card, and the effect is the same. Enter the bank card number and the name of the bank. For example, if you are using a domestic bank, just enter "Domestic Bank." We can leave the branch name blank and click [Confirm] below to bind successfully.
If this is your first time binding these payment methods, you may need to undergo security verification. For example, if you have bound your phone number or email, it will send you a verification code. If you have enabled the passkey, it will use your passkey; the verification method is also very simple, just like our daily use. It sends a verification code, open your email, enter the verification code, and then click confirm.
Here are some personal experiences I want to share. You can add many bank cards, but I usually only add one specifically for crypto trading, and do not use my salary card or social security card, which automatically pays or transfers money. If you get involved in a money laundering transaction and your card is frozen, and that card is your salary card, it would be very difficult. Also, adding QR codes from Alipay and WeChat is convenient, but I don't really recommend adding them; we can send the QR code during the transaction, which is also very convenient to avoid issues when the merchant pays. For example, if your Alipay has been frozen and can only receive but not send, then during a transaction, if you forget to modify it, and the merchant quickly pays through your QR code, your money can only come in but not go out, which is very frustrating.
We exit back to the homepage to explain to new friends what the shortcut area page means. The "Buy" at the top means buying the cryptocurrency you want; if you have RMB and want to exchange it for cryptocurrency, click [Buy]. "Sell" means converting your cryptocurrency into fiat currency recognized by the country; if you have cryptocurrency and want to exchange it for RMB, select [Sell].
Here will be a "USDT," which is the type of transaction you are making. We can click on it to see that it supports many cryptocurrencies, including USDT, Bitcoin, BNB, Dogecoin, Ethereum, and many others. You can directly use your fiat currency to purchase BTC, ETH, Dogecoin, and other volatile currencies, but we seasoned traders usually buy USDT first and then use USDT to place orders for Bitcoin, as buying cryptocurrency directly in C2C has a significant price difference. Additionally, after purchasing USDT, you can place orders and wait for the right timing to trade when the price is lower, while C2C can only trade based on the current price.
Next, it will also let you choose the purchase amount; you can manually enter the amount you want to buy. For example, we enter 10,000 yuan here and click [Buy USDT].
At this point, it will ask you to choose to use Alipay or a bank card to make the purchase. We should not click confirm purchase yet because this is the shortcut area. You can see that it has a shortcut area label at the top; the shortcut area is where the system automatically matches merchants for you to trade with, and we cannot choose our merchants ourselves, nor do we know if this merchant is safe. In this regard, we can filter some merchants through small details.
We click on the "Shortcut Area" at the top to switch to the custom area. In the custom area, we can filter better. Here, there are still buy and sell options, and the next row selects the cryptocurrency USDT. Filter our amount; for example, we filter for 10,000, and click [Confirm]. Filter the payment method; for example, we choose bank card. There is also a "Shield" option at the back; we can check it, and the prompt says "Only show shield advertisers," meaning that it provides compensation limits for sellers whose accounts are judicially frozen for specific reasons. These shield merchants have deposited 100,000 USD on the Binance platform, so if you buy or sell coins from them and they are frozen, there is a certain compensation limit. Because of this deposit, the risk of these merchants' cards being frozen is also lower.
Let's look at the specific merchant page. The first line shows the merchant's name, and below it is the transaction volume, indicating how many transactions this merchant has completed. The success rate goes without saying. Next is the price, which is the price per USDT from the merchant; for example, the first one is 7.26 RMB for one USDT. Next, there is the quantity and limit; "Quantity" is how many USDT this merchant has available for purchase in the background. "Limit" means you can see CNY 10,000 to CNY 28,362, indicating that they handle orders above 10,000 and below 28,362.
Next, we will filter again; we will use 100 RMB for demonstration. Select 100 RMB, choose "Bank Debit Card," and click [Confirm].
It will display "No advertisers found" because we checked the shield trading merchant; after all, shield trading merchants have deposited 100,000 USD with Binance, and they will not handle such small amounts. We will uncheck the shield option, and below we can see many merchants. Earlier, it showed that 7.26 RMB could buy one USDT; now it shows that 7.59 RMB can buy one USDT, and the price difference is quite large. Therefore, I recommend friends to choose a price point with a better cost-performance ratio, such as around 10,000 or a few thousand. We select one, for example, the first one, and click [Buy].
Here we directly enter 100 RMB, scroll down, and you can see some requirements and notes from this person. We continue to scroll down to see some information about the advertiser. They are a certified advertiser and have a deposit of 15,000 USDT with Binance, which is 15,000 USD. If we meet their requirements below, we can click [Buy USDT].
Here you will see a details page with their name, your amount, your order number, and the amount of USDT you are about to receive. At this point, some friends may be confused; we need to transfer money to their bank card, but we cannot see their bank card now. We can click the small chat icon in the upper right corner, where you can see that this person seems to not want to use a bank card for such a small amount; they ask if we can use WeChat or Alipay. We want to demonstrate using a bank card, so we can first go back and cancel this order.
We will switch to another one, click [Buy], still enter our amount, and click [Buy USDT]. We still click the chat box to see; here they ask how we will pay. We enter our bank card and wait a moment to see if they will send the account information. Once they send us the bank card information, we copy it down.
Click on your bank card app, go to the homepage, and make the transfer. Transfer using the account number, enter our transfer amount of 100 yuan, the recipient's account number, card number, and the recipient's name; we copy all of this over. Next, pay attention to your transfer page; it should look like mine. You can see at the bottom the transfer method; it asks you to choose real-time or delayed; make sure to select "Real-time." Below, in the "Memo," do not fill in BTC, USDT, or Binance-related terms, as this is particularly unfriendly. They might think you are buying virtual currency, so we must avoid mentioning such keywords. We directly click [Next] to proceed with the transfer.
Next, we can see the operation result of this transaction. We can see that they asked us to attach a screenshot; we will send them a screenshot that includes their name and the recipient account.
Then we return to the order page, click [Go to Pay], select bank debit card, and click [I have paid, notify the seller]. Then the seller will confirm and release the coins to you.
If you, like me earlier, do not know where to find the order, you can click the small icon for historical transactions in the upper right corner. Here we can see that we just completed this order, and it now shows that we have purchased 12.9 USDT.
Do not think that this is an offline process; it is very fast, and we do not need to worry that we sent money to them and they will not release the virtual currency to us. As a C2C seller on Binance, we can click on their avatar to see that they have a deposit with Binance, which states that they have a deposit of 15,000 USDT. You do not need to worry that if you pay them, they will not release the coins. We have indeed transferred the money there, and we did not enter the wrong account or password; they will definitely check and release the coins. If they do not release the funds, it will affect their qualifications and credit.
Step 6: Buying and Selling Bitcoin
We return to the homepage, click on [Funds] in the lower right corner, and click on our funds account. You can see that 12.9 USDT is already here; you may wonder why it shows 92.75 RMB here when we clearly bought 100 RMB? This is because the amount we bought is too small, and the exchange rate is quite high. If your trading volume increases, the price will decrease. USDT is a stablecoin, and its price is pegged to the US dollar at a 1:1 ratio. When you buy a particularly small amount, it may have a slight premium, but the difference is not significant. As a stablecoin, it does not fluctuate as much as Bitcoin or Dogecoin.
Now we cannot immediately trade and buy coins; we need to transfer from the funds account to the spot account. Click [Transfer] under the funds account. Choose the currency USDT, select the maximum, and click [Confirm Transfer]; it will succeed in seconds, and this transfer does not incur any fees.
We transfer funds to trade in the spot market to buy Bitcoin or Dogecoin, so we need to transfer it over. I just transferred from the funds account to the spot account; if you want to buy spot, you can transfer as I just did. If you want to trade contracts, you must change it to transfer from the funds account to the contract account; you can choose either USDT contract or coin contract account, and then proceed with the transfer.
Now we can proceed with trading. We find the market in the navigation bar below and can directly search for the coin you want to buy. For example, we will demonstrate using Bitcoin; we directly search for BTC here. It will show three options: spot, contract, and options, each corresponding to different gameplay. We select spot. As beginners, we should first understand spot trading. We bought USDT, so we need to select the first trading pair "BTC/USDT." Do not worry about what is written after it, whether it's 10X or something else; we click in, and I will teach you the correct way to buy.
Here you can see the Bitcoin chart and some information. Below are some details about the order. We can click [Buy] at the bottom of the screen.
This takes us to the trading page, where the left side shows the trading pool, and you can see how many people have placed sell orders. On the right side, there are buy and sell options. We are now using USDT to buy Bitcoin, so we select "Buy." Further down, it shows market order; clicking the small arrow will show limit order, market order, take profit and stop loss, trailing order, OCO, and several options. As beginners, we can just use limit orders and market orders.
What does "Limit Order" mean? We can see that after switching to limit order, it asks us to set a price. If we enter 30,000 here and choose the amount to buy Bitcoin, click [Buy BTC].
At this point, you will notice that in the "Current Orders" section below, there will be an order inside, and the completion percentage will be 0%. This is a limit order, also known as a pending order. You set a specific price; the current market price for Bitcoin is 48,000, but we think it's too expensive and do not want to buy. We want to wait until it drops to 30,000 to buy, so we can set a limit order at 30,000, and when the price drops to 30,000 USD, our order will be executed. If you think that 30,000 is unreasonable, you can click the "Cancel Order" button on the right to cancel this transaction.
If you are in a hurry, we can switch to a market order to make the purchase. A market order means buying at the best market price; you only need to select the amount of USDT you want to buy. For example, we pull it to the maximum and click [Buy USDT]. We can click on "Historical Orders" to see our recent Bitcoin purchase in the "Historical Transactions" section.
We can still click on [Funds] in the lower right corner, select the [Spot] account at the top, and see that the Bitcoin we just purchased is here. Do not be confused about why the amount of Bitcoin here has increased; it is because I had a little USDT in this account previously, which I usually use for demonstrations.
If we want to sell USDT, we do it the same way as before; we click on "Market," still select the "BTC/USDT" trading pair, and you can search for BTC above, then click [Sell].
It will automatically take you to the sell section. Drag the slider below and click [Sell BTC] to complete the transaction, which will also succeed in seconds.
Next, we return to the assets section, and in the spot account, we can see that we have successfully bought 25.87 USDT.
Next, if you want to buy Dogecoin or other altcoins, we do it the same way as before; click on the market and directly search, for example, search for DOGE (Dogecoin) to buy and sell. I won't demonstrate this separately.
Additionally, I want to mention the issue of currency pairs. You can see that the upper left corner of the screen shows "DOGE/USDT," meaning the currency pair for exchanging Dogecoin and USDT. You can use USDT to buy Dogecoin or sell Dogecoin for USDT.
Step 7: Binance Withdrawal Process
We can see in our spot account that we have 25.87 USDT that is idle. If we want to sell it for RMB, we cannot sell directly; we still need to transfer it back to the funds account. We click [Transfer] here, select from the spot account to the funds account, choose the currency USDT, and select the maximum to transfer.
If the transfer from the spot account to the funds account is reversed, we can click the exchange button on the right to swap them. Click [Confirm Transfer] below, and it will immediately succeed.
Return to the homepage, select C2C, and choose [Sell] at the top. Filter the amount of USDT we want to sell, enter 100 yuan, select the payment method, and we choose "Alipay," then click [Confirm].
There are many merchants here; we can see the first one, which has a high transaction volume and a high success rate, with over 10,000 transactions, indicating that this merchant should be reliable. Of course, if conditions allow, I still recommend selecting this merchant for added safety. We can see that after checking the shield option, the price becomes even more outrageous. For now, we will not check it and just select the first one and click [Sell].
After selecting our USDT amount, we continue to click [Sell USDT]. It will prompt you that for the safety of your assets, some assets purchased through C2C need to be frozen for 24 hours; they will be frozen for 24 hours from the time of purchase. The 24-hour freeze is a strategy to prevent money laundering and black money, meaning that the USDT you bought needs to be held for 24 hours before it can be sold for cash. For example, if you bought 100 yuan of USDT yesterday at 12 o'clock, you will need to wait until today at 12 o'clock to sell it.
We will filter again, changing the RMB amount to 70 yuan, and click [Confirm]. Filter a merchant and click [Sell]. Enter the amount again and click [Sell USDT].
Next, we wait a moment for the other party to transfer the money to us; we can click the chat box to see what they say. They ask us to show the payment code. We send them the payment code, and after a moment, they will give us the transfer time. You can see at the top that our Alipay has received 70 yuan.
At this point, you will see that the "I have confirmed receipt" has turned yellow, but we should not rush to click it, as the other party may not have transferred the money correctly or may be trying to scam us. We open our Alipay to check, and we need to verify that the buyer's real name is Liu Jian. We need to check the order to see if they have provided their real name, as Alipay hides the surname and only shows the last character. Here it shows *Jian, which corresponds to Liu Jian on Binance, so we can confirm that the person who transferred the money to us is indeed the one on the other side. If not, we need to return it, as there is a certain probability that it is black money, which could lead to our card being frozen or our payment code being frozen. After confirming, we click [I have confirmed receipt] and select "I have received and verified the following amount."
Click [Confirm Release]. It will prompt you for verification; if you are a beginner or have not traded for a long time, it will require you to verify. We click "Go to Verify," and I have bound a Face ID, so I can verify directly.
After completing the above steps, you have successfully mastered the basic usage skills of the Binance App. The functions of the Binance App go far beyond this—rich spot/contract trading, wealth management (such as Binance Earn, staking), Launchpool new coin mining, Web3 wallet, NFT market, etc., provide a powerful engine for you to explore the vast world of cryptocurrency.
