"Bian" (变) is a character that many people accidentally select when typing "bian" in a Chinese input method, and it actually refers to Binance. If you do not have an account yet, first register on Binance to complete your account setup, then download the Binance app for convenient mobile operation. Below is a detailed explanation of how to deposit into your Binance account.
Preparation Before Depositing
Before depositing, you need to ensure the following:
- You have completed identity verification (KYC) — unverified accounts cannot deposit
- You know the cryptocurrency and corresponding network you want to deposit
- You have confirmed the accuracy of the deposit address
Deposit Method 1: On-Chain Transfer
This is the most commonly used deposit method — transferring cryptocurrency from another wallet or exchange to your Binance account.
Steps
- Open the Binance app and tap "Deposit"
- Select the cryptocurrency you want to deposit, such as USDT
- Choose the deposit network (e.g., TRC20, ERC20, etc.)
- Copy the deposit address or scan the QR code
- Paste the address on the sending end and initiate the transfer
- Wait for blockchain confirmation and the funds will arrive
Important Notes
When selecting the network, it must match the sending side. For example, if you are transferring USDT from a wallet using the TRC20 network, you must also select the TRC20 network on Binance to receive. Choosing the wrong network will result in asset loss that cannot be recovered.
Deposit Method 2: C2C (Peer-to-Peer) Trading
If you do not have any cryptocurrency, you can buy some with fiat currency through C2C trading:
- Find the "Buy Crypto" entry on the app home page
- Select C2C Trading
- Choose the cryptocurrency and amount you want to buy
- The system will match you with a seller
- Transfer funds using the payment method provided by the seller
- After transferring, tap "I've Paid"
- Once the seller confirms, the cryptocurrency will automatically arrive in your account
C2C Trading Safety Tips
- Communicate only through the platform's built-in chat window
- Confirm the other party's payment information before paying
- Do not tap "I've Paid" before completing the actual transfer
- If you encounter any issues, promptly request platform customer support intervention
Deposit Method 3: Credit Card Purchase
Binance supports purchasing cryptocurrency directly with Visa, Mastercard, and other credit cards. The process is relatively simple but the fees are higher, making it suitable for small, quick purchases.
Deposit Arrival Times
Arrival times vary significantly by method:
- On-chain transfer: Depends on blockchain network congestion — can range from a few minutes to tens of minutes
- C2C trading: Arrives instantly after the seller confirms release
- Credit card purchase: Usually arrives within a few minutes after successful payment
Viewing Assets After Deposit
After the deposit is complete, you can view your balance on the "Assets" page of the app. If the funds have not arrived for a long time, you can check the status in the deposit records. For on-chain transfers, you can also use the transaction hash to check progress on a blockchain explorer.
