Step-by-Step Guide

How to Register & Get Started

Follow these steps to set up your Binance account and get connected. The full process takes 15–30 minutes, and no technical skills are required.

1
Step 1

Create Your Binance Account

Click the button below to open the official Binance registration page. Using our referral link is optional, but it is appreciated and directly supports us with fee discounts and referral benefits that help keep this service running.

  • Use a valid email address you have full access to, you'll need to verify it
  • Create a strong password: minimum 8 characters with a mix of letters, numbers and symbols
  • Save your password securely, Binance cannot recover it on your behalf
  • Check your inbox and click the verification link Binance sends you to confirm your email
🤝
Referral link is optional, but encouraged. You do not have to use our referral link, you can register at binance.com/register directly. However, registering through our link gives us fee discounts and referral rewards from Binance, which help us invest in better infrastructure and keep monthly fees low for everyone. It costs you nothing extra.
Already have a Binance account? Skip ahead to Step 3. If you're already verified and funded, skip straight to Step 5 and contact us to receive your access link.

Step 2

Secure Your Account with 2FA

Before adding any funds, enable two-factor authentication. This is required by Binance for withdrawals and protects your account from unauthorized access.

  • Go to My Account → Security → Two-Factor Authentication
  • Download Google Authenticator or Binance Authenticator on your phone
  • Scan the QR code shown on Binance and enter the 6-digit code to activate
  • Store your backup key in a safe place, you'll need it if you ever lose your phone

Step 3

Complete Identity Verification (KYC)

Binance requires identity verification before you can trade or use copy trading features. This is a regulatory requirement, a one-time process that takes 1–10 minutes once your documents are ready.

  • Go to My Account → Identification and select your country of residence
  • Choose your document type: passport, national ID card, or driver's license
  • Upload clear, well-lit photos of both the front and back of your document
  • Complete the real-time facial recognition scan using your phone or webcam
  • Verification typically takes a few minutes but can take up to 24 hours during peak periods
Tip: Have your documents ready before you start. Blurry, cropped, or expired documents are the most common reason for rejection. See the verification guide below for full photo tips.

Step 4

Fund Your Account (Minimum $200 USDT)

Deposit at least $200 USDT into your Binance account. This is the minimum balance required for trade positions to be replicated properly. Binance supports multiple deposit methods, use whichever works best in your country.

  • Crypto Deposit: Go to Wallet → Fiat and Spot → Deposit → Select USDT. Choose TRC-20 network for lowest fees. Send from any external wallet or exchange.
  • Card Payment: Use the Buy Crypto option to purchase USDT directly with a Visa or Mastercard debit/credit card. Instant, but fees apply.
  • Bank Transfer: Available via SEPA (Europe) or wire transfer depending on your country. Usually takes 1–3 business days.
  • P2P Trading (Peer-to-Peer): Buy USDT directly from verified sellers using local payment methods, bank transfer, mobile money, cash apps, and more. Best option if card or direct deposit is unavailable in your region. See the P2P guide below.
Not sure which method to use? If direct deposit and card payment are unavailable or restricted in your country, P2P is the most flexible option, it supports hundreds of local payment methods worldwide. Scroll down to the P2P guide for step-by-step instructions.

Step 5

Activate Your Access & Receive Your Unique Link

Once your account is verified and funded, contact us to activate your copy trading access. We do not connect to your Binance account via API, instead, we send you a unique access link or code. You use that link inside Binance to join our copy trading portfolio directly. No API keys, no technical setup required on your end.

  • Pay the one-time $50 access fee to activate your place in the system
  • Contact us with confirmation of your payment and your Binance-registered email
  • We generate and send you a unique personal access link or code, specific to your account
  • Open the link in your Binance app or browser, it takes you directly to our copy trading portfolio
  • Tap "Copy" inside Binance to begin. Trades start mirroring automatically from that point
  • You remain 100% in control, your funds stay in your own Binance account at all times
🔗
How the link works: Binance's copy trading system allows traders to share a direct portfolio link with followers. When you click your unique link, Binance recognises it and lets you follow our master account's trades automatically, proportional to your balance. There are no API permissions involved, and we have zero ability to withdraw or move your funds.

Alternative Deposit Method

How to Use Binance P2P to Deposit Funds

If direct deposit or card payment is unavailable in your country, P2P (Peer-to-Peer) trading is the most flexible way to get USDT into your Binance account, using local payment methods.

What is Binance P2P?

P2P (Peer-to-Peer) trading lets you buy USDT directly from other verified Binance users in your country. Binance acts as an escrow, they hold the seller's crypto until your payment is confirmed, protecting both parties. There's no middleman, no bank required, and it supports hundreds of local currencies and payment methods.

Supported Payment Methods Include:

Bank Transfer
Mobile Money
PayPal
Wise / Revolut
Cash App
M-Pesa
Remitly
And 200+ more

Step-by-Step: Buying USDT via P2P

1

Open P2P Trading

In the Binance app, tap Buy Crypto from the home screen, then select P2P Trading. On desktop, go to Trade → P2P Trading from the top menu.

2

Select USDT & Your Currency

Choose Buy tab, select USDT as the coin, and set your local currency (e.g. KES, NGN, INR, ZAR, EUR). The platform shows verified sellers with current rates.

3

Filter by Payment Method

Use the Payment filter to select your preferred method, bank transfer, mobile money, etc. This shows only sellers who accept that payment type.

4

Choose a Verified Seller

Look for sellers with high completion rates (95%+), many trades, and positive feedback. Avoid sellers with few reviews or poor ratings. Check their response time, it shows on their profile.

5

Enter Amount & Place Order

Enter the amount of USDT you want to buy (minimum $200). Confirm the order. Binance will immediately lock (escrow) the seller's USDT, it cannot be released until they confirm your payment.

6

Make Payment to Seller

Follow the payment instructions shown, transfer the exact local currency amount to the seller's bank account, mobile wallet, or other method specified. Do this within the time limit (usually 15–30 minutes).

7

Confirm Payment in Binance

Once you've sent the payment, tap "I've Paid" inside the Binance order screen. This notifies the seller to verify and release your USDT. Do not tap this before you've actually sent the payment.

8

USDT Arrives in Your Wallet

Once the seller confirms receipt of your payment, Binance releases the escrowed USDT directly to your Spot Wallet. This typically takes 5–20 minutes. You're now funded and ready to connect to copy trading.

✅ P2P Safety Tips

🔒
Only use Binance's built-in chat. Never move communication to WhatsApp, Telegram, or any outside platform. Scammers use this to manipulate you outside Binance's protection.
📸
Screenshot your payment proof. Save your bank transfer confirmation, mobile money receipt, or payment screenshot before marking the order as paid.
Pay within the time limit. Each order has a countdown timer. If you don't pay in time, the order is automatically cancelled and the seller's USDT is returned to them.
Verify payment before marking paid. Only tap "I've Paid" after the money has actually left your account. Tapping it without paying is a violation of Binance's P2P terms.
🎯
Choose high-reputation sellers. Filter for sellers with 95%+ completion rate and 100+ successful trades. First-time P2P users should start with smaller amounts to get comfortable.
🆘
Use Binance's appeal system if needed. If there's a dispute, you paid but the seller hasn't released, tap Appeal in the order. Binance's team will review evidence and intervene.
⚠️
Important: Never release or confirm payment outside the Binance platform. Never pay anyone who contacts you directly claiming to be a Binance seller. Always complete P2P transactions entirely within the official Binance app or website. If anything feels off, cancel the order and choose a different seller.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about registering on Binance and getting connected to the copy trading system.

Binance Account & Registration
Is Binance free to sign up?
Yes. Creating a Binance account is completely free. There are no sign-up fees. You only need money when you're ready to deposit funds to start trading. The $50 one-time access fee is paid to us — not to Binance — to activate your copy trading connection.
Why do I need to use your referral link?
Using our referral link (binance.com/register?ref=MYCITYXYZ) ensures your account is properly associated with our network. Additionally, referral accounts often receive fee discounts.
What countries are supported on Binance?
Binance operates in over 180 countries. However, residents of the following countries cannot use Binance.com: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, and a few others with strict crypto regulations. US residents should use Binance.US instead. Check Binance's country list before registering if you're unsure about your region.
Can I use an existing Binance account?
Yes — if you already have a verified Binance account with at least $200 USDT, you can skip the registration steps and go directly to the copy trading setup. Contact us with your Binance UID and we'll walk you through the connection process. You can find your UID in Profile → Personal Center on Binance.
How long does the registration process take?
Account creation takes about 2 minutes. Identity verification (KYC) usually completes in 1–10 minutes but can take up to 24 hours during busy periods. Once verified, depositing funds takes 5–30 minutes depending on your payment method. In total, expect the full process to take 30–60 minutes from start to finish.
Identity Verification (KYC)
Why does Binance need my ID?
Binance is required by law (Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer regulations) to verify the identity of all users who trade, deposit, or withdraw funds. This is standard practice across all regulated financial platforms. Your data is encrypted and handled according to Binance's privacy policy.
What if my verification gets rejected?
Common reasons for rejection include:
  • Blurry or poorly lit document photos
  • Expired document
  • Document corners cut off in the photo
  • Using a screenshot or photocopy instead of a real photo
  • Name mismatch between account and document
If rejected, you'll receive a reason from Binance. Simply re-submit with corrected photos. Most rejections are resolved on the second attempt.
Is my personal information safe with Binance?
Binance is one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges with industry-standard security measures including AES-256 encryption for stored data, SSL/TLS for data in transit, and regular third-party security audits. Your identity documents are used solely for regulatory compliance and are never sold to third parties.
Do I need to verify my address as well?
Basic identity verification (Level 1 KYC) requires only a government-issued photo ID and facial scan — no address proof needed. However, some countries may require proof of address for higher trading limits or specific payment methods. For copy trading, Level 1 KYC is sufficient to get started.
Deposits & Funds
What is the minimum deposit to start copy trading?
The minimum account balance required is $200 USDT. This ensures your account can replicate trade positions at meaningful sizes. Accounts with less may not execute trades correctly or at all, which could cause you to miss entries or receive only partial fills.
How do I deposit USDT into Binance?
Go to Wallet → Fiat and Spot → Deposit → Select USDT. Choose a network — TRC-20 (Tron) has the lowest fees, while ERC-20 (Ethereum) is widely supported but more expensive. Copy your deposit address, send USDT from your external wallet or exchange, and wait for confirmation. Alternatively, use the Buy Crypto option to purchase USDT directly with a card.
Can I withdraw my funds at any time?
Yes. Your funds remain in your own Binance account at all times. We never have access to withdraw or move your money. You can close any open copy positions and withdraw your funds from Binance at any time. If you disconnect from the copy trading system, your existing open trades will remain open until they close naturally or you close them manually.
What if card payment and direct deposit are not available in my country?
Use Binance P2P (Peer-to-Peer) trading. P2P lets you buy USDT directly from verified sellers in your country using hundreds of local payment methods — bank transfers, mobile money (M-Pesa, MTN, Airtel), cash apps, Wise, PayPal, and many more. Binance acts as an escrow to protect both parties. We have a full P2P step-by-step guide on this page — scroll down to the P2P Deposit Guide section.
Are there any Binance trading fees I should know about?
Binance charges standard trading fees of 0.1% per trade (or less with BNB fee discounts). For futures copy trading, fees are typically 0.02% maker / 0.04% taker. These fees are deducted automatically by Binance and are separate from our 30% performance commission, which only applies to your net profits.
Copy Trading System
Do you connect to my Binance account via API keys?
No. We do not use API keys or connect to your account directly in any way. Once you are registered and have paid the access fee, we generate a unique personal link or code specific to your account. You open that link inside Binance and it takes you directly to our copy trading portfolio page, where you tap "Copy" to start. Binance handles the trade mirroring automatically — we only ever see aggregated portfolio performance, never your personal account details or funds.
Do I have to use your referral link to register on Binance?
No — it is entirely optional. You can register directly at binance.com/register without any referral code and still access our copy trading system. However, registering through our referral link (binance.com/register?ref=MYCITYXYZ) earns us referral rewards and fee discounts from Binance. It costs you absolutely nothing extra and helps us maintain better infrastructure and competitive monthly fees.
How does the 30% performance commission work?
The 30% commission is only charged on net profits. If you don't profit, you don't pay. For example: if your account grows by $500 in a month, our commission is $150. This is automatically calculated and settled by the Binance copy trading system — you don't need to manually send any payments. If trades result in a loss, there is no commission for that period.
What happens if I want to stop copy trading?
You can unfollow the master trader directly in your Binance copy trading dashboard at any time. Your existing open positions will remain active until they close or you manually close them. There's no lock-in period. Monthly fees stop accruing from the date you disconnect. Your funds remain entirely in your own Binance account.
Do I need any trading experience?
No prior trading experience is required. The copy trading system handles all trade decisions automatically. However, we recommend that you understand the basics of how crypto trading works and acknowledge that all trading carries risk. Past performance of the master account does not guarantee future results. Never invest more than you can afford to lose.
Is this system available 24/7?
Yes. The copy trading system operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, exactly like the crypto market. Trades are mirrored in real time the moment they are executed on the master account — including nights, weekends, and holidays. You don't need to be online or monitoring anything; it's fully automated.
