Binance fees are one of the lowest in the industry. Customers are charged 0.1% on every trade, meaning if you traded 1 ETH, you would only be charged 0.001 ETH. What is more, there is no fee charged for cryptocurrency/fund deposits, though withdrawals come with a transaction fee that varies depending upon the cryptocurrency. For example, at the time of writing, for every Litecoin (LTC) that you want to withdraw, it would cost you 0.01 LTC in fees. However, if the value of Litecoin increased, so would the withdrawal fee. This is because the fee is fixed to the price of Litecoin, and not top the price of USD (or your local currency). There are no limits to the value of deposits you make, but if you want to withdraw more than 2 BTC worth of cryptocurrency, then you would need to verify your account further. This can be done by submitting identification, such as your passport.

Like a standard exchange, it offers services around the trading, listing, fundraising, and de-listing or withdrawal of cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrency enthusiasts willing to launch their own tokens can use Binance for raising funds through initial coin offerings (ICOs). Binance is used by a large number of traders and participants for exchanging and investing in various cryptocurrencies. It supports trading in more than 150 coins, including popular ones like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and its own native BNB tokens, and the list continues to grow. Due to its popularity, the company provides great liquidity to its users - with approximately 2USD bn daily trading volume on average, Binance services more than 50% market volume on majority of listings. What is more, the company services clients in more than 180 different countries and regions and it employs people from more than 40 different countries and regions. A very neat feature, Binance provides a peer-to-peer (P2P) trading service, which connects buyers and sellers of cryptocurrency directly. This facilitates fiat payments, with a wide variety of payment options that depend on the users' preferences.

Trading on Binance is fairly easy and user friendly. There's an impressive cryptocurrency selection available for trading in conjunction with the Bitcoin, Ether, BNB, XRP and Tether trading pairs. Crypto/fiat paris are also available on Binance's fiat markets. Users can choose between the "basic", "classic" and "advanced" interfaces for order book style trading plus margin, peer-to-peer and OTC trading options. For spot trading, users can select between three different interfaces, based on their experience level. The classic interface allows a quick view of market and trading pairs, making it easier to switch pairs. The advanced view gives users access to advanced charting tools. Margin trading is available for selected trading pairs, allowing users to trade with leverage of up to 10x on some coins. Users can choose between cross margin, which risks your entire margin account balance, and isolated margin, which restricts your potential losses to a single trading pair. Binance currently supports three types of trade orders: limit, market, and stop limit orders. Limit orders are executed only at the limit price set by the trader, market orders are executed immediately at the best available market price, while stop limit orders become valid orders only when the price reaches a specified level. Binance Futures, which was launched in 2019, enables traders to speculate on the price of (rather than to purchase and sell) Bitcoin and various popular altcoins, including Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple and more. The platform allows leveraged trading of up to 125x, which means that traders can multiply their profits (but also losses) by 125 – more than any other major platform. Binance Futures balances are held separately from users' regular trading accounts and must be funded with Tether (USDT) as collateral. All profits and losses will also be realized in USDT.

Binance mobile app is available for for Android (including Android APK) and iOS. Both mobile apps allow you to access most of the features of the web platform, including fiat gateway, Binance Futures, Binance Options, spot trading, margin trading, P2P trading, and more. The app allows the company's clients to set price alerts with a single tap to stay up to date on the latest prices and trends; switch between Lite and Pro interfaces with a single tap, as well as Spend Bitcoin or BNB at over 50 million merchants worldwide when you sign up for the Binance Card.

The company is recognised for its excellent customer support. Most support inquiries need to be made via the site's email contact form. As with most major trading exchanges, you may have to wait a while for a response simply due to the sheer growth in demand. There is a customer service bot chat to tap into, but some of the responses are automated (and in some in Chinese). Approximately, 80% of the tickets are solved in 24 hours or less, granting a 95% satisfaction rate to its users. The website is available in more than 15 different languages. On the other hand, One major problem does appear to be a thorn in the site's side: Many reviews complain about a faulty 2FA/SMS confirmation. The temperamental nature of this setup for Binance means that a few customers struggle to withdraw funds. What is more, unfortunately, Binance does not operate a telephone support hotline.

In addition to exchange-specific services, Binance also offers other tools, platforms, and services for supporting the overall blockchain ecosystem. Binance has a blockchain technology incubator called Binance Labs, which focuses on nurturing promising pre-ICO stage projects. It helps deserving cryptocurrency project teams by providing necessary funding for development, advisory resources, and a launchpad for any necessary listing and fundraising exercises. Binance also offers a site called LaunchPad for hosting new and emerging blockchain projects. One can also create APIs, which stands for application programming interfaces. What is more, the company has launched numerous associated initiatives to improve the aggregate crypto ecosystem:

• Binance Academy: Free learning portal with educational articles, videos, and online courses on blockchain, crypto, investing and more
  
  
• Binance Research: Institutional-grade insights and analysis for cryptocurrency investors
  
  
• Binance China Blockchain Institute: Blockchain-powered digital financial infrastructure and services builder focusing on researching blockchain technology, industrial applications, and governance models while providing tools, resources, education, training, and certification for blockchain developers, startups, and entrepreneurs
  
  
• CoinMarketCap: Frequently referenced and trusted price-tracking website for thousands of cryptocurrencies
  
  
• DappReview: Leading data-driven decentralized applications (dApps) platform, delivering news, user insights and market analytics/reports, in addition to fund-raising, product development, marketing, and more for developers
  
  
• Binance Charity: World's first blockchain-powered not-for-profit organization dedicated to advancing transparent and inclusive philanthropy
  

In order to to set up a Binance account, you will require just a few moments. In order to do that, you need to follow the steps:

• Visit the Binance homepage and then click on "Register".
  
  
• Enter your email address and choose a password
  
  
• Finally, you need to confirm your email address.
  
  
• When you log in for the first time, a notification will ask you if you want to set up two-factor authentication.
  
  
• Enter your mobile number and complete the setup.
  
  

The process behind this is fairly simple and straight-forward and you don't have to verify your account for level 1 which is a 2BTC daily withdrawal limit. For level 2 which allows up to 100BTC per day, you need to upload a photo ID and wait till you are approved. There are higher limits still, but you will need to contact them directly to arrange that. Time for verification can vary depending on how busy the site support staff are, so make sure to plan ahead if you wish to withdraw larger amounts and make sure this step is complete before depositing and trading large sums on the exchange.

Binance-users have the opportunity to choose between two different trading alternatives. The first one is called basic, and does not cater as good to people interested in more detailed technical analysis as the advanced version does. Its website and trading pages were revamped in 2019, and now are easy to understand and navigate for both beginners and experienced users. It even provides the possibility of moving between Basic, Classic, and Advanced trading screens, so that more experienced traders can benefit from having more information (such as user funds) contained on a single page. In contrast, less experienced traders can make token swaps without an overwhelming array of windows and graphs. The basic interface is the easiest way to trade and consists of simple options to select two cryptocurrencies and make a conversion. The classic mode is more advanced and brings back the "classic" look and feel of Binance exchange. It includes advanced order types, price and market depth charts, bid and ask order books, as well as trade history and open orders overview window. Besides, it allows you to trade with margin and options, and thus is suitable for more advanced retail investors. Last but not least, there is an advanced trading interface. It displays all of the same options as Classic view, but all windows are put together in a somewhat cleaner and tidier manner. It was the latest addition to the Binance's interface and has a modern feel to it.

Security at Binance is generally sound, although the exchange has experienced a significant hack in May of 2019. The exchange lost over 7000 BTC due to a number of compromised user accounts and used its #SAFU fund (Secure Asset Fund for Users) for user compensations. Since then, the exchange has strengthened its security by introducing the Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) authentication method and enhancing its exchange monitoring capabilities. Besides, Binance encourages users to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) using either Google Authenticator or SMS authentication. Also, traders have an option to whitelist addresses and set up an anti-phishing code. It also has a fairly extensive security FAQ in its support section, where it advises its users on how to guard against phishing attempts and personal security lapses. Every withdrawal from Binance must be confirmed by email. As of 2020, Binance boasts of having state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) risk control solutions that use identity and facial recognition, big data analytics, and cyber forensic investigations to monitor each movement that takes place on the exchange and identifies suspicious and irregular activities. That said, recent events have shown that Binance can respond quickly to significant threats and protect customers' funds. In contrast to other companies in the industry, Binance has a reputation of excellent quality project selection, as its acceptance rate is less than 3% from the amount of total listing applications.
