We translate the cryptic steps buried inside Binance's official documentation into language ordinary people can actually understand. Sign-up, download, deposits, buying coins, futures, security settings - every single step explained clearly.

Yes. Mainland Chinese users can still register on Binance and complete KYC verification. Fiat deposits are handled through C2C (trading USDT directly with merchants using local payment methods), and the entire process operates within compliance frameworks.
At minimum, you only need an email address or phone number to create an account. To unlock trading and withdrawal features, you'll need to complete KYC verification, which requires photos of both sides of a government-issued ID, a selfie holding the document, and facial recognition. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes.
The Binance app is not available on the China region App Store, so you'll need to switch to a US, Hong Kong or Japan region Apple ID and search for Binance. Our download page provides a complete Apple ID switching guide. Once installed, you can switch back to your original ID without affecting the installed app.
There is some risk, but it can be greatly reduced. Stick to verified merchants, avoid late-night transactions, keep single trades under a moderate amount, leave only the order number in the memo field, and use a dedicated low-balance bank card. See our 'Fiat Trading' category for full details.
Spot trading has a standard fee of 0.1%, dropping by 25% when paying fees with BNB, plus an additional 20% reduction when registering through a referral link. Futures fees are 0.02% maker / 0.05% taker, and can be reduced further with VIP tier and BNB discounts.
On-chain transfers (USDT, BTC, etc.) via TRC-20 typically arrive in 1-3 minutes, BSC is similarly fast, and ERC-20 takes 5-15 minutes. To withdraw to a bank card, you'll first sell via C2C, with arrival times ranging from 5 minutes to 30 minutes depending on the merchant and bank processing speed.
Immediately tap 'Lock Account' in the app and disable all API keys and withdrawal whitelist entries. Most account compromises stem from missing 2FA combined with email account theft. Always enable Google Authenticator 2FA, set an anti-phishing code, configure withdrawal address whitelisting, and only allow withdrawals to whitelisted addresses.
Follow this sequence: register your account, complete KYC, enable 2FA, buy a small amount of USDT through C2C as a test, try a market order to buy 0.001 BTC on the spot market, then convert back to USDT. Getting familiar with the workflow matters far more than chasing prices in your first week.
The links in our articles point to APK packages officially released by Binance, identical to those on the official website. Android will prompt you to 'allow installation from this source' on first install - just grant permission. Always download from official channels and avoid third-party modified versions.
