For transferring crypto between Binance users, there's a convenient feature called internal transfer. Unlike regular withdrawals, internal transfers are free and arrive instantly. To try this feature, first register on Binance to get your own account, then download the Binance APP for quick and easy mobile transfers.
What Is Binance Internal Transfer?
Binance internal transfer is a direct asset transfer between two Binance users. Since the transfer happens within Binance's internal system without needing blockchain network confirmation:
- Zero fees: No fees regardless of the transfer amount
- Instant arrival: The recipient receives funds immediately
- Simple operation: Just need the recipient's Binance ID, email, or phone number
How to Make an Internal Transfer
Step 1: Go to the Withdrawal Page
Open the Binance APP, tap "Assets," then select "Withdraw."
Step 2: Choose the Currency
Select the cryptocurrency you want to transfer, such as USDT, BTC, or any other token.
Step 3: Select Internal Transfer
On the withdrawal page, choose "Send via Binance User" or "Internal Transfer" option (exact wording may vary by APP version).
Step 4: Enter the Recipient's Information
You can specify the recipient through:
- Binance UID: The recipient's numeric user ID
- Email: The email address they registered with on Binance
- Phone number: Their linked phone number
After entering, the system will display partial information about the recipient (partially masked) — confirm it's correct before proceeding.
Step 5: Enter Amount and Confirm
Enter the transfer amount, verify all information is correct, complete security verification (password, code, or Face ID), and tap confirm.
How to Find Your Binance UID
If someone wants to send you an internal transfer, you'll need to share your UID:
- Open the Binance APP
- Tap the profile icon in the upper left
- Your UID (a string of numbers) is displayed on the profile page
- Copy and send it to the other person
Internal Transfer vs. Regular Withdrawal
| Internal Transfer | Regular Withdrawal | |

| Network selection | Not needed | Required |
Best Use Cases for Internal Transfer
Sending Crypto to Friends
If your friend also uses Binance and you want to send them some USDT, internal transfer is the most convenient — no need to worry about selecting networks, and it costs nothing.
Transferring Between Your Own Accounts
If you have multiple Binance accounts (such as a main account and a sub-account), internal transfer is perfect for moving funds between them.
Frequent Small Transfers
Since there are no fees, even small transfers won't cost you anything. With regular withdrawals, the fee might be more than the transfer amount itself.
Important Notes
- Verify recipient information: Double-check the UID, email, or phone number before transferring — mistakes are very hard to reverse
- Binance users only: Internal transfers can only be sent to other Binance users. For users on other platforms, use regular withdrawal
- Daily limits: Internal transfers may have daily limits depending on your verification level
- Records retained: All internal transfer records can be viewed in "Transaction History"
FAQ
Internal transfer says user not found?
Check that the information you entered is correct — the email must exactly match what the recipient registered with. If the recipient has a newly registered account, they may need to complete basic verification before receiving internal transfers.
Are there amount limits on internal transfers?
Yes, specific limits depend on your verification level. Completing higher levels of identity verification can increase your limits.
