How to Register a Bian Account

For friends searching for "Bian", you haven't searched wrong; "Bian" is simply another phonetic spelling for "Binance" in Chinese. Binance is the cryptocurrency trading platform with the most users globally. Registering an account allows you to start your digital currency trading journey. You can register through the official Binance website, or you can first download the official Binance APP to register on your mobile phone. If Apple users are installing the APP, you can refer to the iOS installation guide.

"Bian" is "Binance", Don't Get Confused by the Name

In the cryptocurrency community, the Chinese name for "Binance" has countless unofficial spellings: Bian, Bi'an, Anbi, Bian... These all refer to the same platform, Binance. This is because when people spread the word verbally, the characters typed out using input methods vary.

So if you searched for "how to register Bian", you've come to the right place. Below, I will teach you step-by-step how to register an account on Binance.

Preparation Before Registration

Before starting the registration, you need to prepare the following things:

Must Prepare

A commonly used email address: It is recommended to use international email providers like Gmail or Outlook, as domestic Chinese emails sometimes fail to receive verification emails.
Phone number: Used to receive SMS verification codes.
A strong password: At least 8 characters, including uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special symbols.

Recommended to Prepare

ID card or passport: Needed for KYC identity verification after registration.
Google Authenticator APP: Used to set up two-factor authentication to protect account security.
A stable network environment: Network interruptions during registration may cause the verification code to expire.

Detailed Steps for Email Registration

Step 1: Open the Registration Page

You can reach the registration page in two ways:

Open the official Binance website in your mobile browser and click the "Register" button.
Open the Binance APP and click "Register" on the homepage.

Step 2: Choose Registration Method

Binance supports both email registration and phone number registration. Here, we will talk about email registration first.

Click the "Register with Email" option.

Step 3: Fill in Email and Password

Enter your email address in the email field, ensuring it is entered correctly.
Enter the password you want to set in the password field.
Password requirements: Minimum 8 characters, must contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one number.
If you have an invitation code (referral code), you can fill it in the corresponding field.

Step 4: Agree to Terms of Service

Check "I have read and agree to the Terms of Service". It is recommended that you actually spend a few minutes reading the terms to understand the platform's rules.

Step 5: Complete Human Verification

After clicking register, a verification window will pop up, usually asking you to drag a puzzle slider to the correct position. This step is to prevent bots from mass registering.

Step 6: Verify Email

Binance will send a verification email to the email address you provided.
Open your email and find this email (if it's not in the inbox, check the spam folder).
There is a 6-digit verification code in the email.
Enter this verification code on the Binance registration page.
The verification code is usually valid for 30 minutes; if it times out, it needs to be resent.

Step 7: Registration Successful

After entering the verification code, if everything is correct, your Binance account is successfully registered. The system will automatically redirect you to the main page.

Detailed Steps for Phone Number Registration

If you are more accustomed to using a phone number to register, the steps are also very simple:

Select "Register with Phone Number" on the registration page.
Choose your country/region code (for example, +86).
Enter your phone number.
Set a password.
Complete the human verification.
Enter the SMS verification code received on your phone.
Registration is complete.

The advantage of registering with a phone number is that you can use it directly to log in later, which is quite convenient. However, it is recommended to also bind an email address after registration for dual protection.

Must-Do Security Settings After Registration

Registration is just the first step; the subsequent security settings are the most important. Many people have had their accounts stolen and suffered asset losses because they ignored security settings.

Enable Google Authenticator Verification

This is the most important security measure, bar none.

First, download the Google Authenticator APP on your phone.
Go to "Security Settings" in the Binance APP.
Select "Google Authenticator".
Follow the prompts to scan the QR code or manually enter the setup key.
Very important: Back up the setup key and write it down on paper for safekeeping. If your phone is lost or broken, you cannot restore the authenticator without the key.
Enter the 6-digit number displayed on the authenticator to complete the binding.

Bind Phone Number

If you registered with an email, it is recommended to also bind a phone number. This way, your account will have triple protection: email + phone number + Google Authenticator.

Set Up Anti-Phishing Code

Find "Anti-Phishing Code" in the security settings.
Set a word or phrase that is easy for you to remember.
Once set, all emails sent to you by Binance will contain this word.
In the future, if you receive an email claiming to be from Binance and it does not contain your anti-phishing code, then it is fake.

KYC Identity Verification After Registration

KYC (Know Your Customer) is real-name authentication. Binance requires users to complete KYC before they can use most features.

KYC Process

Click "Identity Verification" or "KYC Verification" in the APP.
Select your nationality.
Fill in your personal information: name, date of birth, address, etc.
Upload photos of the front and back of your ID document (ID card, passport, or driver's license).
Perform facial recognition verification (complete specified actions facing the camera).
Submit and wait for review.

How Long Does KYC Review Take

Usually, the review can be completed within minutes to a few hours. During peak periods, it may take 1-3 working days. You will be notified of the review results via APP push notifications and email.

Common Reasons for KYC Failure

Photos are blurry or have severe glare.
Information on the document does not match the filled-in information.
The lighting is too dim during facial recognition.
Using an expired document.

If it fails, you can resubmit, making sure to improve on the issues mentioned above.

Common Problems During Registration

What if I Can't Receive the Verification Email

Check your spam folder.
Confirm whether the email address was filled in correctly.
Wait a few minutes and resend.
If you are using QQ Mail or 163 Mail, it is recommended to try switching to Gmail.
Check if your email has filtering rules set up.

What if I Can't Receive the SMS Verification Code

Confirm whether the phone number and country code are correct.
Check if your phone has SMS filtering or blocking enabled.
Wait 1-2 minutes and resend.
If you still can't receive it after multiple attempts, you can switch to email registration.

What if the Registration Page Won't Open

This might be a network environment issue. You can try switching networks or use other network tools to access it.

What if it Prompts "Not Available in This Region"

This indicates that the region of your current IP address may not be within Binance's service area. You can check your network settings or contact Binance customer service for consultation.

Can One Account Be Logged In on Multiple Devices?

Yes, you can. You can log in to the same Binance account simultaneously on your mobile phone, tablet, and computer. But every time you log in on a new device, Binance will send a verification code to confirm it is you operating.

This is also why setting up security verification is important—if someone tries to log in to your account on another device, they won't be able to log in without your verification code.

Should I Use an Invitation Code When Registering?

It is recommended to use one. Binance's invitation code (also called a referral code) allows you to enjoy discounts on trading fees, usually by refunding a certain percentage of the fee. This discount is valid for life; if you don't fill it in during registration, you won't be able to add it later.

You can search for "Binance invitation code" online or ask a friend who is already using Binance for one.
