Binance

Register at Binance. You can create an account with the help of either an email or a mobile number and provide your basic personal details.

Your account needs to be verified, so you’ll be required to supplement your ID, and a selfie. The facial verification process is also available in-app.

• Log in to your Binance account and click Buy Now on the homepage banner.
• Choose your preferred fiat currency in the Pay With section.
• Next, select a payment method (card deposit; credit/debit card; P2P trading; cash balance; or a third-party payment).

The card deposit option is for those whose fiat wallet doesn’t have enough funds for the transaction. It is also a good way to prepare for a purchase beforehand. If you select a card deposit, you’ll get a choice of means to add money to your fiat wallet depending on the fiat currency. Every deposit method has different transaction fees and conditions. Select the most suitable one. Give your card details. In a pop-up window, enter the total amount you want to deposit, and confirm. Once your money is deposited into your Binance balance, you may choose the Cash Balance option.

Direct credit/debit card purchases help you buy cryptocurrencies at real-time prices. You can use any regular Visa or Mastercard. Please note that you can only pay with your own credit cards.

P2P trading feature is a marketplace where Binance customers can trade crypto directly with each other on their own terms, in virtually any country.

Third-party payments are enabled through a partnership with a leading payment processing company Simplex.

• Let’s assume you’ve chosen the credit/debit card option. On the new page, you can select the cryptocurrency you want to buy and the fiat currency you wish to use.
• Enter the amount of APE you want to purchase, or the fiat amount you want to spend. In the latter case, the system will automatically display the amount of crypto you can get. Some min/max transaction limits may apply. Click “Continue”.
• You’ll need to re-confirm the chosen payment method, as you’ll see the comparison of how much crypto you’ll get with alternative payment methods.
• Follow the instructions and enter your card information.
• Please check the payment details and fees and confirm your order within one minute, or the amount of crypto you can get would be recalculated based on the current market price. You can click “Refresh” to see the new order amount.
• You will be redirected to your bank’s OTP Transaction Page. Follow the on-screen instructions to verify the payment. After that, you can see the purchased crypto in your Binance Spot Wallet instantly.

The cash balance option will have a similar procedure except that you don’t have to enter your card details. However, in case you don’t have a sufficient balance in your account, you will be redirected to the “Deposits” page to add funding.

If you prefer the P2P trading option, the system will automatically match your buy order with a seller’s ad on the market. You will see the payment details next. Please transfer the funds within the time specified by the seller and click “Transferred, Next” once the transfer is completed. The seller will check if they have received your payment and release the crypto to your account.

Please note that all new users are required to complete basic verification to access Binance products and service offerings, including cryptocurrency deposits, trades, and withdrawals. However, if you wish to increase your limits for buying and selling crypto or unlock more account features, you need to complete “Verified Plus” verification. Additional proof of address will be required.
