How to Delete Binance Account: A Step-by-Step Guide

Why You Might Want to Delete Your Binance Account

Before we dive into the steps, let’s explore some common reasons why users might want to delete their Binance account:

1. Security Concerns: In case you do not have confidence in the platform’s security, or if your account has been compromised.

2. Inactive Account: If you are not holding cryptocurrencies or actively trading, it makes sense to inactivate the account. If you no longer trade or

hold cryptocurrencies, keeping an inactive account might not make sense.

3. Changing to a different platform: You might have found an alternative platform that suits your needs best.

4. Personal Reasons: Another factor could be a shift in financial strategies or personal privacy.

Important Considerations Before Deleting Your Account

Prior to deleting, make sure you have addressed the following:

• First transfer all your funds, both fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies to another bank account or wallet. This is because, once Binance removes your account, you won’t be able to access your funds again.
• Close any active orders to prevent further transactions once your account is deleted.
• Download your transaction history for accounting and storage reasons because you will no longer have access to this information once it is deleted.
• Note that closing your Binance account is a permanent and irreversible action. Once removed, all information linked to your account will be permanently deleted.

However, email, phone number, KYC info, and transactional data will be retained for six years post-account deletion for compliance. Account may be reinstated in case of chargeback.
