Creating a Binance account means registering with your region, completing identity checks, enabling strong security, and adding fiat or crypto so you can trade safely. 🔐

  1. Open Binance and choose Sign Up. 📲

  2. Select your country/region and register by email/phone. 🧾

  3. Verify email/phone; set a strong password. 🔐

  4. Complete Identity Verification (document + liveness; add address). 🪪

  5. Turn on Authenticator 2FA + Anti-Phishing Code. ✅

  6. Deposit (e.g., EUR via SEPA) or transfer crypto; confirm credit. 💱

  7. Make a tiny test trade; review fees. 💹

  8. Confirm the official app: iOS developer Binance Switzerland AG; Android official listing. 🧠

  9. Country must match your documents; mismatches can trigger “withdraw-only.” ⚠️

  10. Before funding: send a small test first; verify balance reflects correctly. 🧾

  11. Use whitelist for withdrawals; avoid SMS-only 2FA. 🔐

Start now-have your ID and proof of address ready. 📲

Steps (Web) 💻

Create your account: go to https://www.binance.com → Sign Up → select country/region → register via email/phone. 📲

Choose your exact country/region in the selector; it must match your ID and bank details to avoid later restrictions.

Verify contact: enter the OTP sent to email/SMS within the time window. ✅

  1. Identity Verification: Profile → Identification → upload passport/national ID, complete liveness, then submit proof of address (recent bill/bank statement). 🪪

    On Identification, submit ID + liveness, then upload Proof of Address with full name/address visible; reshoot if glare/cropping occurs.

  2. Secure your account: enable Authenticator 2FA, set an Anti-Phishing Code, and turn on Withdrawal Whitelist for your wallets. 🔐

  3. Fund your account: Wallet → Deposit; pick your currency (e.g., EUR via SEPA) or transfer crypto. Start with a small amount; confirm credit before larger moves. 💱

    Copy IBAN/Reference (if shown) exactly; send a small test deposit and wait for credit before increasing the amount.

  4. First trade: use Convert for quick swaps or Spot for limit/market orders; review quoted fees before confirming. 💹

Turn on Authenticator 2FA and set your Anti-Phishing Code before depositing. 🔐

Steps (App) 📲

  1. Install the official app: confirm developer name on iOS; use the official Binance listing on Google Play. 🧠

    Verify developer = “Binance Switzerland AG” (iOS) or the official Binance listing before tapping Get/Install to avoid impersonators.

  2. Register with your region, email/phone, and a unique 12-character password (use a manager). 🔐

  3. KYC: scan your ID on a plain background, show all corners, and complete the liveness check; upload address proof if prompted. 🪪

  4. Deposit: Add Funds → Fiat/SEPA (where available) or Transfer Crypto; confirm balance. 💱

Make a €5–€10 test deposit-confirm it lands before larger transfers. ✅

Requirements & Eligibility 🧾

  • Age 18+; accurate country/region and legal name.

  • Acceptable ID (passport/national ID) and proof of address (recent).

  • Some rails require same-name bank accounts; third-party transfers are rejected in many regions.

  • Availability varies by region; check in-app tiles and notices.

Security (set on day one) 🔐

  • 2FA hierarchy: Authenticator/App > SMS; store backup codes offline.

  • Anti-Phishing Code: forces official emails/SMS to display your tag—ignore messages without it. 🧠

  • Withdrawal whitelist: restricts withdrawals to saved addresses; add a lock period. ⛓️

  • Device hygiene: update OS, lock screen, and never store IDs/seed phrases in photos.

  • API: if needed later, start read-only, limit IPs, and rotate on anomalies.

Costs & Fees 💵

  • Spot baseline often ~0.10% maker / 0.10% taker at entry tier; VIP levels and paying with BNB may reduce costs.

  • Funding: bank transfers are typically cheaper than cards; always review the quote before confirming.

  • Network withdrawals: depend on blockchain conditions.
    Fees last checked: Sep 2025.

Review your fee tier-opt into BNB fees only if it truly saves you money. 💹

Regional availability🌍

  • EEA: expect non-MiCA stablecoin pairs (e.g., USDT) to be unavailable; use USDC/EUR where listed.

  • EUR deposits: SEPA supported in many EU countries; exceptions apply—check your account panel.

  • Other regions: features/products vary; follow in-app eligibility notices.

Troubleshooting 🧰

  • “Withdraw-only” after sign-up → country/name mismatch; re-verify with exact details matching your ID and bank.

  • KYC selfie fails → remove accessories, use bright indirect light, show ID corners; try another device if needed.

  • Deposit not credited → confirm reference/IBAN (if applicable), banking hours, and processing windows; contact support with proof.

  • App look-alike → reinstall from the verified listing; set Anti-Phishing Code and ignore emails/SMS without it.

Re-capture ID on plain background, then retry Liveness with better lighting; ensure name/date match your submission.

Finish setup today-secure it, verify, run a small deposit, then take your first trade. ✅
