Before you start
- An email address you use regularly, with a password you don’t use anywhere else.
- Your own ID: a passport or national ID card, depending on what the exchange accepts in your country.
- An authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator, for two-factor authentication.
Make sure you’re on the official site
The official site is binance.com. Search ads at the top of the results and links posted in group chats can lead to copycat sites with an address that’s one or two letters off.
Official websites and apps Exchange Official site App developer (as shown in the app store) Binance binance.com— On your phone, only install the app from the App Store or Google Play and check the developer name. Never install an app file someone sends you.
Open the sign-up page with the referral link
Tap the sign-up button on this page and the referral code is filled in for you. If it isn’t, type in FAIRR.
Enter your email and set a password
Use at least 12 characters, mixing letters, numbers and symbols. Only enter verification codes on the official site: exchange staff will never call or message you to ask for one.
Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA)
Under “Account security”, turn on 2FA with your authenticator app: scan the QR code, then enter the 6-digit code.
Verify your identity (KYC)
Follow the prompts to photograph your ID and take a selfie. Only submit documents on the official site or app, and never send photos of your ID to anyone claiming to be support. Don’t use someone else’s ID, and don’t lend yours.
Deposit with your local currency

Try a small amount first. If you buy through P2P, only place the order and confirm payment inside the platform. Never pay the other person outside it.
Make your first spot trade
Go to “Buy crypto” or “Spot”, pick BTC or USDT, buy a small amount, then check it has arrived under “Assets”. Don’t touch “Futures”, “Margin” or “Copy trading”: you can lose everything within minutes.
Sign up to Binance and get 20% of your trading fees back.

I forgot to enter the referral code. Can I add it now?
At most exchanges, no. Don't close your account and sign up again, or open a second account, to get a code. That breaks the exchange's rules and can get you banned. You can use a referral link at another exchange you haven't joined yet.
How long does the ID check take?
Usually a few minutes to a day or two, longer at busy times. Make sure your photos are sharp, show all four corners of the document and have no glare.
The email code never arrived. What should I do?
Check your spam folder, wait a minute or two, then tap resend. Anyone who offers to "help you receive the code" is a scammer.
When does the fee rebate arrive?
The exchange pays it into your exchange account automatically, on its own schedule. How often it pays out is set out in the exchange's referral terms. We never handle your money.
