How to Register a Binance Account with Email

To enter the world of cryptocurrency, the first step is to register an exchange account. Binance is one of the world's largest cryptocurrency trading platforms, supporting multiple registration methods. This article will teach you step-by-step how to complete your registration using an email on the Binance Official Website. If you are more accustomed to operating on a mobile phone, you can also download the Official Binance App to register. iPhone users can refer to the iOS Installation Guide to install the app.

Why Choose Email to Register on Binance?

Many people struggle with whether to use a phone number or an email when registering on Binance. Actually, email registration has many advantages:

Stronger privacy: An email does not easily expose personal information like a phone number does, and it will not receive spam SMS messages.
Universally accepted: No matter which country or region you are in, an email can be used normally, avoiding issues with not receiving international SMS verification codes.
Easy to manage: An email can be used for a long time, unlike a phone number which might lead to account loss if you change numbers.
High security: Combined with the email's own two-step verification, it can provide extra security protection for your Binance account.

What Do You Need to Prepare Before Registering?

Before starting the registration, it is recommended that you prepare the following in advance:

Choose a Suitable Email Provider

We recommend using the following email services:

Gmail: The most widely used globally, extremely stable, and verification codes are sent quickly.
Outlook/Hotmail: Also very stable and easy to register.
ProtonMail: Focuses on privacy protection, suitable for users with higher security requirements.

We do not highly recommend using niche email services because you might encounter issues with not receiving verification codes. QQ Mail and 163 Mail are also usable in most cases, but occasionally there are issues with verification emails being intercepted.

Network Environment

Ensure your network connection is stable. If the page loads slowly or cannot be opened, you can try switching your network environment.

Referral Code (Optional)

If a friend gave you a referral code, have it ready. Registering with a referral code allows you to enjoy trading fee discounts.

Detailed Steps to Register Binance with Email

Step 1: Open the Binance Registration Page

Open your browser and go to the official Binance website. On the homepage, you will see a prominent "Register" button; click it to enter the registration page.

Step 2: Choose the Email Registration Method

At the top of the registration page, you will see "Phone" and "Email" tabs. Click "Email" to switch to the email registration mode.

Step 3: Enter Your Email Address

Fill in your prepared email address in the input box. Please carefully verify if the email address is correct; a single wrong letter will result in you not receiving the verification code.

Step 4: Set a Password

The password must meet the following requirements:

At least 8 characters.
Contains at least one uppercase letter.
Contains at least one lowercase letter.
Contains at least one number.

It is recommended to set a strong password, such as a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special symbols. Do not use easily guessable information like birthdays or phone numbers as your password.

Step 5: Enter the Referral Code (If Any)

If you have a friend's referral code, enter it in the "Referral ID" field. If not, you can skip this step.

Step 6: Agree to the Terms of Service

Check the box "I have read and agree to Binance's Terms of Service." It is recommended that you spend a few minutes reading the main content of the terms of service.

Step 7: Click Register

After confirming all the information is correct, click the "Register" button.

Step 8: Complete Security Verification

The system will pop up a security verification window, usually a sliding puzzle. Follow the prompt to complete the puzzle, proving you are not a robot.

Step 9: Email Verification

After completing the security verification, the system will send a verification email to your inbox containing a 6-digit verification code.

Open your email inbox.
Find the email from Binance (the sender is usually [email protected]).
Copy the 6-digit verification code from the email.
Return to the Binance registration page and paste it into the verification code input box.
The verification code is usually valid for 30 minutes, so please complete this promptly.

Step 10: Registration Successful

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

What If I Don't Receive the Verification Code Email?

This is a problem many people encounter during registration. Here are some solutions:

Check the Spam Folder

The verification code email is very likely automatically categorized as spam or promotional mail. Open your spam folder to take a look.

Whitelist Binance Email Addresses

In your email settings, add the following senders to your whitelist or contacts:

Click Resend

On the verification code page, there is a "Resend" button. After waiting 60 seconds, you can click it to resend the verification code.

Try Another Email

If you still do not receive the verification code after multiple attempts, we suggest trying a different email service provider. Gmail has the highest delivery success rate.

Things Recommended to Do Immediately After Registration

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

After registration is complete, we strongly recommend that you immediately enable Google Authenticator two-factor authentication. This way, even if your password is leaked, others cannot log into your account.

Set an Anti-Phishing Code

Set an anti-phishing code in the security settings. After that, every email from Binance will display this code, helping you distinguish genuine emails from fake ones.

Complete Identity Verification (KYC)

To trade normally and deposit or withdraw funds, you need to complete identity verification. Prepare your ID documents and follow the system prompts to complete the verification.

Bind a Phone Number

Although you registered with an email, it is recommended to simultaneously bind a phone number for an extra layer of security.

Security Reminders for Email Registration

Do not use a temporary email: Although convenient, it will be very troublesome later when retrieving a password or doing security verifications.
Your email password should be different from your Binance password: If you use the same password, once one is leaked, the other will also be compromised.
Enable two-step verification for your email: Protect your email account, as it is a crucial way to recover your Binance account.
Regularly check email login logs: Ensure there is no abnormal login activity.
Do not register on public computers: Public computers may contain malware such as keyloggers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Binance accounts can one email register?

One email can only register one Binance account. If you need multiple accounts (not recommended, as it may violate platform rules), you need to use different email addresses.

What should I do if it says "Email already registered" during registration?

This means you might have already registered a Binance account with this email previously. You can try to use the "Forgot Password" function to retrieve the previous account instead of re-registering.

Can I change the bound email after registration?

Yes, you can. In the account security settings, you can apply to change the bound email address. However, it requires passing a series of security verifications to confirm that it is you operating it.

Are there any restrictions on registering with domestic email providers?

Domestic email providers (like QQ Mail, 163 Mail) can normally register on Binance without any functional restrictions. The only possible issue is that verification code emails might be intercepted, so we suggest checking the spam folder first.

How long after successful registration can I start trading?

After successful registration, you need to complete identity verification (KYC) before using most trading functions. The review time for identity verification usually ranges from a few minutes to a few hours. Once verified, you can deposit and start trading.
