Step 2 of your journey

Deposit & Withdraw Safely

Now that your account is verified, you can fund it and move your assets. Always double-check the network before you send — using the wrong one can cause permanent loss of funds.

Depositing funds

Fund Your Account

01

Select Your Coin & Network

Choose the asset, then select the network that matches the platform you're sending from (e.g., BEP20, ERC20, TRC20). The networks on both ends must match.

02

Copy Your Deposit Address

Copy the exact address or scan the QR code. Some assets also require a MEMO/Tag — leaving it out can mean losing your funds.

03

Send From Your Wallet or Exchange

Initiate the transfer from the external platform using the same network, and confirm the address carefully.

04

Wait for Confirmations

Your funds arrive once the blockchain confirms the transaction; timing depends on the network.

Withdrawing crypto

Move Funds Out Safely

01

Enable Address Whitelisting

For maximum security, turn on the withdrawal whitelist so funds can only go to addresses you've pre-approved. Even if someone gains access to your account, they can't send funds to an unknown address. Note: changing your whitelist may temporarily pause withdrawals for 24–72 hours.

02

Enter the Details

Select your coin, the network matching the destination, and the amount. You'll see the network fee and the exact amount you'll receive. Add a MEMO/Tag if the destination requires one.

03

Confirm Securely

Approve the withdrawal with 2FA plus your email/SMS verification codes.

04

Track It

Follow the status until it's confirmed on-chain.

Every withdrawal needs your 2FA (OTP) code. Lost or replaced your phone? See how to recover your Binance OTP before you start.

Compliance

What Is the Travel Rule?

The Travel Rule is a global anti-money-laundering standard (based on FATF Recommendation 16) that requires regulated exchanges to share basic sender and recipient information for transfers above a set threshold. This information is shared off-chain through secure, encrypted channels between exchanges — it is never written onto the blockchain.

What it means for you

Own Both Ends

Transfers generally must be between wallets you own. A deposit from an address you haven't declared may be held until you confirm ownership, and third-party transfers are typically not allowed.

Thresholds Vary by Country

For example, the U.S. applies a $3,000 threshold, while the EU requires information on every transfer regardless of amount.

Provide Accurate Details

If required information is missing, a transfer can be delayed, returned, or rejected. Make sure names and platform details match your verified identity.

Binance handles this through the Global Travel Rule (GTR) Alliance, a shared compliance network used by major exchanges.
