How to Deposit Crypto on Binance (Web)

If you own cryptocurrency on another platform or wallet, you can transfer them to your Binance Wallet for trading or earn passive income with our suite of services on Binance Earn.

How to find my Binance deposit address?

Cryptocurrencies are deposited via a “deposit address”. To view the deposit address of your Binance Wallet, go to [Wallet] - [Overview] - [Deposit]. Click [Crypto Deposit] and select the coin you wish to deposit and the network you’re using. You will see the deposit address. Copy and paste the address to the platform or wallet you are withdrawing from to transfer them to your Binance Wallet. In some cases, you will also need to include a MEMO.

Step-by-step tutorial

1. Log into your Binance account and click [Wallet] - [Overview].

2. Click [Deposit] and you will see a pop-up window.

3.Click [Crypto Deposit].

4. Select the cryptocurrency you want to deposit, such as USDT.

5. Next, choose the deposit network. Please make sure that the selected network is the same as the network of the platform you are withdrawing funds from. If you select the wrong network, you will lose your funds.

Summary of network selection:

BEP2 refers to the BNB Beacon Chain (former Binance Chain).
BEP20 refers to the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) (former Binance Smart Chain).
ERC20 refers to the Ethereum network.
TRC20 refers to the TRON network.
BTC refers to the Bitcoin network.
BTC (SegWit) refers to Native Segwit (bech32), and the address starts with “bc1”. Users are allowed to withdraw or send their Bitcoin holdings to SegWit (bech32) addresses.

6. In this example, we will withdraw USDT from another platform and deposit it into Binance. Since we are withdrawing from an ERC20 address (Ethereum blockchain), we will select the ERC20 deposit network.

The network selection depends on the options provided by the external wallet/exchange that you are making the withdrawal from. If the external platform only supports ERC20, you must select the ERC20 deposit network.
DO NOT select the cheapest fee option. Select the one that is compatible with the external platform. For example, you can only send ERC20 tokens to another ERC20 address, and you can only send BSC tokens to another BSC address. If you select incompatible/different deposit networks, you will lose your funds.

7. Click to copy your Binance Wallet’s deposit address and paste it to the address field on the platform you intend to withdraw crypto from.

Alternatively, you can click the QR code icon to get a QR code of the address and import it to the platform you’re withdrawing.

8. After confirming the withdrawal request, it takes time for the transaction to be confirmed. The confirmation time varies depending on the blockchain and its current network traffic.

Once the transfer is processed the funds will be credited to your Binance account shortly after.

9. You can check the status of your deposit from [Transaction History], as well as more information on your recent transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a tag/memo and why do I need to enter it when depositing crypto?

Tag or memo is a unique identifier assigned to each account for identifying a deposit and crediting the appropriate account. When depositing certain crypto, such as BNB, XEM, XLM, XRP, KAVA, ATOM, BAND, EOS, etc., you need to enter the respective tag or memo for it to be successfully credited.

How long does it take for my funds to arrive? What is the transaction fee?

After confirming your request on Binance, it takes time for the transaction to be confirmed on the blockchain. The confirmation time varies depending on the blockchain and its current network traffic.

For example, if you’re depositing USDT, Binance supports the ERC20, BEP2, and TRC20 networks. You can select the desired network from the platform you’re withdrawing from, enter the amount to withdraw, and you will see the relevant transaction fees.

The funds will be credited to your Binance account shortly after the network confirms the transaction.

Please note if you entered the wrong deposit address or selected an unsupported network, your funds will be lost. Always check carefully before you confirm the transaction.

How to check my transaction history?

You can check the status of your deposit or withdrawal from [Wallet] - [Overview] - [Transaction History].

If you’re using the App, go to [Wallets] - [Overview] - [Spot] and tap the [Transaction History] icon on the right.

If you don’t own any cryptocurrency, you can click [Buy Crypto] to buy from P2P trading.

Why Hasn’t My Deposit Been Credited

1. Why has my deposit been credited yet?

Transferring funds from an external platform to Binance involves three steps:

Withdrawal from the external platform
Blockchain network confirmation
Binance credits the funds to your account

An asset withdrawal marked as “completed” or “success” in the platform youre withdrawing your crypto from means that the transaction was successfully broadcast to the blockchain network. However, it might still take some time for that particular transaction to be fully confirmed and credited to the platform you’re withdrawing your crypto to. The amount of required “network confirmations” varies for different blockchains.

For example:

Alice wants to deposit 2 BTC into her Binance wallet. The first step is to create a transaction that will transfer the funds from her personal wallet into Binance.
After creating the transaction, Alice needs to wait for the network confirmations. She will be able to see the pending deposit on her Binance account.
The funds will be temporarily unavailable until the deposit is complete (1 network confirmation).
If Alice decides to withdraw these funds, she needs to wait for 2 network confirmations.

Due to possible network congestion, there might be a significant delay in processing your transaction. You may use the TxID (Transaction ID) to look up the status of the transfer of your assets by using a blockchain explorer.

If the transaction has not yet been fully confirmed by the blockchain network nodes, or has not reached the minimum amount of network confirmations specified by our system, please wait patiently for it to be processed. When the transaction has been confirmed, Binance will credit the funds to your account.
If the transaction is confirmed by the blockchain but not credited to your Binance account, you may check the deposit status from the Deposit Status Query. You can then follow the instructions on the page to check your account, or submit an enquiry for the issue.

2. How do I check the transaction status on the blockchain?

Log in to your Binance account and click [Wallet] - [Overview] - [Transaction History] to view your cryptocurrency deposit record. Then click on the [TxID] to check the transaction details.
