Whatever your reason — you've stopped trading, want to switch platforms, or have privacy concerns — you have every right to delete your Binance account. But there are things you must handle before deletion, or you risk losing assets or encountering data issues.
If you're still undecided about registering, you can register a Binance account to try it out first. Or get the Binance APP to explore the platform features.
Pre-Deletion Checklist
1. Withdraw All Assets
This is the most critical step. All assets remaining in the account after deletion will be unrecoverable.
- Check all crypto balances (including spot, earn, futures, and other accounts)
- Withdraw all crypto to an external wallet or another exchange
- Check for and cancel any pending trades or open orders
- Check for any unredeemed earn products and redeem them early
- Check for any unclaimed airdrops or event rewards
2. Cancel All Pending Activities
- Cancel all pending withdrawal orders
- Finish all P2P trades
- Close all futures positions
- Redeem all earn products
- Cancel all open orders
3. Disconnect Third-Party Integrations
- Disconnect API connections with third-party applications
- Delete all API keys
- Unlink sub-accounts
4. Save Important Data
After deletion, you will no longer have access to the following. We recommend exporting and saving in advance:
- Transaction history (for tax reporting, etc.)
- Deposit and withdrawal records
- Account statements

Data Retention
Due to legal requirements, Binance may need to retain certain data:
- Transaction records may need to be kept for several years to meet regulatory requirements
- KYC identity information may be retained for a legally required period
- Specific retention periods depend on the regulations in your region
Related Impact
- Your referral code and referral relationships will become invalid
- Unsettled referral commissions will be forfeited
- VIP level and benefits will be lost
Alternatives Before Deletion
Before deciding to delete, consider whether there are better options:
Temporary Inactivity
If you just don't want to trade for a while:
- Withdraw most assets, keep only a small amount
- Strengthen security settings
- Keep the account as a backup
Reducing Risk
If security concerns are the reason:
- Strengthen all security settings
- Delete unnecessary API keys
- Enable all available security verifications
Limiting Functionality
You can limit account functionality without deletion:
- Self-disable the account (can be re-enabled when needed)
- Turn off unnecessary feature permissions
Wanting to Use Binance Again After Deletion
If you delete your account and later want to use Binance again:
- You will need to register with a new email address
- You will need to complete KYC verification again
- Previous transaction records and data cannot be recovered
- Previous VIP level and benefits cannot be restored
FAQ
What if there are small balances I can't withdraw? Some tokens may have balances below the minimum withdrawal threshold. You can convert small balances to a major token through trading, then withdraw everything together.
How long does the deletion take? After submitting the deletion request, it typically takes effect immediately or within a few business days.
Will I still receive emails from Binance after deletion? Normally no, but you may still receive certain legally required notifications.
Account deletion is a serious decision. Make sure you have carefully considered and completed all preparation before proceeding, to avoid unnecessary losses from oversights.
