⚠️ Read this first: if you have not registered yet, use the registration link (e.g. "Sign up") or enter invite code BINANBT — signing up directly inside the app gets you no new-user reward at all. An in-app registration binds to no referral, so the $19,800 welcome package and the 20% fee rebate simply do not apply.
Key takeaways (TL;DR):
- Binance has one main domain: binance.com. Neither the help center nor the verification channel publishes a backup or mirror list; whether a domain loads is not evidence.
- binance.us is not a backup. It is a separate US company with non-interoperable accounts. Regional domains such as binance.bh are regional entities, not backup entry points.
- Searching for a third-party "Binance entry" domain is itself the warning sign. That query produced 3,736 impressions for our site in 90 days, and the results are mostly aggregators and clones.
- There is exactly one test: where the address bar ends up. An HTTPS padlock, a familiar layout and reassuring support chat prove nothing; phishing sites have certificates too.
- Download from two sources only: the official download page or the direct APK (321,076,391 bytes, package
com.binance.dev), and the App Store with an overseas Apple ID.- The invite field at sign-up must read BINANBT for the 20% to be yours. A bound account cannot be rebound, so do not plan to "fix it later".
The trustworthy answer to the Binance official website question is https://www.binance.com — nothing else. As of 13 November 2026 the global exchange's main domain is still binance.com, and Binance's own help center has never published a list of backup or mirror domains. That is where this guide parts ways with most articles on the topic. Below is a checklist for deciding which URL is real, why the entry points you find in search are usually not, and what to do if you already clicked one.

What Is the Official Binance Website?
The global exchange's official domain is binance.com, and a login that lands on accounts.binance.com is on the right track. Domains that look official fall into several different categories and should not be treated as "the website":
| Domain you see | What it actually is | Safe to treat as Binance? |
|---|---|---|
www.binance.com |
Official global domain | ✅ The only main entry |
accounts.binance.com |
Official account and login system | ✅ Correct login destination |
binance.us |
Binance.US, a separate US company | ❌ Non-US accounts do not interoperate |
binance.bh |
Binance Bahrain regional site | ⚠️ Regional entity, not a backup |
binance.me, binancezh.com, binance-vip.com and similar |
Third-party mirrors or clones | ❌ Verify with Binance Verify first |
The official entry points you actually need are only five, and they are worth bookmarking instead of searching for each time:
- Main site: https://www.binance.com
- Official sign-up page (with invite code): https://www.binance.com/join?ref=BINANBT
- Official verification channel (Binance Verify): https://www.binance.com/en/official-verification
- Official app download page: https://www.binance.com/en/download
- Official help center: https://www.binance.com/en/support
The test is not "does this domain load" but "is this domain binance.com, or does the official verification channel recognise it". A page loading only proves somebody put files on a server; it says nothing about who owns them.
Why Binance Does Not Publish a Mirror-Domain List
Domains are an attack surface: publishing a list would hand clones a template to copy. Binance's help center instead teaches users how to spot URL spoofing and gives them Binance Verify to check links one by one1.
That produces two conclusions that run against most third-party articles:
- "Updated daily" mirror lists are traffic bait. The main domain has been stable for years; the so-called "latest entry" is usually the aggregator's own domain, and the page you land on still belongs to someone else.
- Regional sites are not backups.
binance.bhis run by a local entity andbinance.usis a different company; accounts, funds and KYC are not shared. Using a regional site as a backup for the global exchange can mean registering in the wrong system, or holding assets in an account you did not intend to open.
Why Searching for an Entry Domain Backfires
Typing a third-party domain into a search box cannot find the official site; it finds aggregators and clones that farm that domain as a keyword. People copy strings such as a "Binance entry" domain from a group chat or a short video, and in doing so hand the judgement to whoever wrote the page.
Our own search data shows how large the demand is: over the last 90 days a third-party entry query produced 3,736 impressions on Bing for this site, while "Binance official website" and its variants produced about 8,362 impressions and 345 clicks2. The demand is real; the supply is mostly unofficial.
Three patterns account for most of those pages, with different losses:
| The page you meet | What it does | What you lose |
|---|---|---|
| Clone download site | Copies the official layout and serves a modified Android package | Your deposit address is swapped; funds go to the operator |
| Redirect or aggregator page | "Download" passes through two interstitial pages | Ads and bundled installers on the way through |
| Swapped sign-up link | Looks like the official registration page but the ref= parameter belongs to the site owner |
The rebate is bound to them and cannot be rebound later |
There is one test: not what the page looks like, but where it sends you. Whichever page you start from, the address bar must end on binance.com (or binance.us for US users). If a third-party domain appears anywhere in the chain, treat the visit as a clone: go back, type the official domain yourself, and never enter credentials on the original page.
A search term that contains a stranger's domain is already a contaminated signal. The real official entry never needs someone else's domain to describe it.
How Users Behind Restricted Networks Reach Binance
Direct access to binance.com often fails on mainland Chinese networks; a full-tunnel proxy, the official app or a regional site are the three options, each with a different cost. One misdiagnosis to clear up first: a page that fails to load is not automatically blocked. When we tested the official download page on 13 November 2026, some networks received an AWS WAF challenge page (HTTP 202) — not a clone, not a dead domain, and a retry on another network usually passes.
| Method | What you do | Cost and risk |
|---|---|---|
| Full-tunnel proxy | Route all traffic and open binance.com | Most complete experience; use a reputable provider, not an unknown "accelerator" |
| Official app | Official APK on Android, overseas Apple ID on iOS | Most stable; the download step is the biggest risk, so verify package and file |
| Regional site | For example binance.bh | Verify first; accounts and features may differ from the global exchange |
Two hard limits are worth knowing before you start: US IPs are routed to Binance.US, which does not interoperate with the global exchange, and IPs from restricted jurisdictions such as Singapore cannot register a global account. If registration keeps failing, check where your IP is located before cycling through more entry points.
How to Check an Entry with Binance Verify
Paste the suspect link, email, phone number or social account into the official verification channel and see whether Binance recognises it. It is the only authenticity test Binance itself provides, it sits on the binance.com domain, and it needs no login — so it never asks for your password1.
Do it in this order:
- Copy what you want to check: a link, a sender address, a phone number, or a social account claiming to be official.
- Open the official verification page at
binance.com/en/official-verification, reached from the main site footer or help center — not from a link someone sent you. - Paste and read the result: the channel states whether the item belongs to Binance.
- Enter nothing until it checks out — especially not your password, SMS code, authenticator code or seed phrase. The verification page never needs them.
Where to Download the Binance App
There are only two official sources — the official download page and the official app stores — and the main risk elsewhere is a package with an altered deposit address. What you verify differs by platform:
| Platform | Official source | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Android | Official download page / direct APK | Package name com.binance.dev; file 321,076,391 bytes (306 MiB), Last-Modified 2026-10-26 |
| iPhone | App Store with an overseas Apple ID | App Store ID 1436799971; developer Binance Switzerland AG; about 929.8 MB, iOS 16 or later |
| HarmonyOS | The HarmonyOS package published on the official site | Only the official site offers it; third-party markets do not carry this build |
| Desktop | Official download page | The .exe / .dmg code-signing issuer is Binance |
The official Android APK direct link (full address): https://download.bsmkweb.cc/pack/BNApp_F0002087.apk?utm_medium=web_share_copy — about 306 MiB. If the size and package name match, a repackaged build is very unlikely3.
One step matters more than installing the app: confirm the invite field reads BINANBT when you sign up. Packages from different entry points can carry different attribution. The full four-platform install and verification sequence is in our Binance download guide; if you already installed from the wrong source, see the APK invite-code breakdown.
Sign-Up Link and Where the 20% Rebate Comes From
The official sign-up link looks like /join?ref=CODE; BINANBT returns 20% of every trading fee, a share set by the inviter rather than issued automatically by the platform. The official ceiling for an invitee share is 20% and the floor is 0. The "50% / 40%" figures marketing pages mix in are the inviter's own commission, not yours.
Stacked with the BNB discount, the cost works out like this:
| Step | Rate | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Spot base fee | 0.10% | Maker and taker both at 0.10% |
| Pay fees with BNB (-25%) | 0.075% | 0.10% × 0.75 |
| 20% rebate returned | 0.015% | Calculated on net fees, settled T+1 |
| Effective cost | 0.06% | About 40% saved overall |
Three rules worth memorising once:
- Signing up inside the app binds no referral. The welcome package and the rebate do not apply — the most common way to work for nothing.
- An account that already has a referrer cannot be rebound. There is no general "add a code later" entrance; paid rebind offers are scams.
- Only accounts that never bound a referrer have two narrow routes: the 90-day Recall Program, or Affiliates Rebind with USD 150,000 of qualifying volume in 30 days. The details are in the existing-user rebind guide.

💰 Binance Rebate: Invite Code BINANBT
A rebate returns a share of your trading fees to your account; with BINANBT that share is 20% of every fee, which keeps lowering costs for as long as you trade. It does not change your principal or P&L — only the friction cost of trading.
- Rebate: 20% of every fee, calculated on net fees, settled automatically at T+1; no trades, no rebate.
- How to claim: use the registration link, or enter BINANBT in the invite field at sign-up — that is the only entrance.
- Stack it: enabling the BNB discount saves another 25%, bringing the effective spot cost to about 0.06%.
- Watch out: in-app registration yields neither the welcome package nor the rebate. Spend 30 seconds checking the invite field before you register.

Six Domain Disguises Behind Phishing Sites
Phishing sites give themselves away in the domain, not in how closely the page copies the original. These six disguises cover most cases, and the last row is the one people miss:
| Disguise | Example | How to spot it |
|---|---|---|
| Swapped letters | b1nance.com, blnance.com |
Read the domain one letter at a time |
| Hyphenated name | binance-login.com |
The official domain contains no hyphen |
| Different extension | binance.cc, binance.xyz |
The main domain must be binance.com |
| Subdomain trick | binance.com.verify-cn.cn |
The registered domain is the last two labels, verify-cn.cn |
| Double dot / typo | kr.binance..com |
The address bar shows the real resolution |
| Homograph | binаnce.com (Cyrillic "а") |
Nearly invisible to the eye — never copy a domain from a chat window |
Six more signals work alongside the domain:
- No short links. Ignore short URLs from search ads, emails, DMs and group chats.
- A padlock is not evidence. Clones get free certificates; the lock proves encryption, not ownership.
- Enable the anti-phishing code. Once set, every genuine Binance email carries your custom phrase. Without it, treat the email as forged.
- Check with Binance Verify. Links, emails, phone numbers and social accounts can all be checked.
- Distrust scare tactics. "Your account will be frozen" and "verify within 24 hours" are phishing scripts; Binance does not pressure users that way.
- Never share a seed phrase, private key or verification code. Anyone asking is a scammer, without exception.
Already Entered a Phishing Site or Typed Your Password?
Stop the bleeding first and investigate second; the other order enlarges the loss. A phishing site usually waits before using stolen credentials, and that window is your only chance.
- Change your password from the official entry and use the security center to log out all devices; do not click anything on the phishing page.
- Revoke API keys and wallet approvals: look for unknown API keys, devices and withdrawal addresses.
- Move assets to a new address or wallet: if the seed phrase was exposed, replace the wallet — changing a password is not enough.
- Contact official support and keep evidence: screenshots, transaction hashes, the offending domain.
- Report the domain and file a police report: a report helps take it down, and the on-chain record is the key evidence.
Remember the order: change password → revoke approvals → move assets → contact support → report. Reversing it gives the attacker time to act.
FAQ
What is the official Binance website?
The global exchange's main domain is binance.com, and a login that lands on accounts.binance.com is on the right track. binance.us is a separate US company with non-interoperable accounts, and regional domains such as binance.bh are not backups. Any domain with hyphens, swapped letters or another extension should be checked with Binance Verify first.
Why can't I open the Binance website?
Separate a network problem from a domain problem first. Direct access to binance.com often fails on mainland Chinese networks; try a full-tunnel proxy, the official app or a regional site. When we tested the download page on 13 November 2026, some networks received an AWS WAF challenge (HTTP 202) rather than a dead domain, so retry on another network.
Does Binance publish a list of backup or mirror domains?
No official backup-domain list appears in Binance's help center or verification channel. Third-party articles promising a "daily updated mirror list" are traffic bait: domains are an attack surface, so Binance prefers that you verify each one with Binance Verify instead of publishing a list clones can copy.
Can I trust the pages that appear when I search for a Binance entry domain?
Not by ranking. Those searches usually return two kinds of page: aggregators that stuff the domain into their copy, and clone sites riding the same term. In the last 90 days that query produced 3,736 impressions for our own site, which shows the demand is real but the supply is mostly unofficial. Type binance.com yourself instead.
How do I check whether a Binance link is official?
Paste the link, email address, phone number or social account into Binance Verify, the official verification channel inside binance.com. Never enter a password, verification code or seed phrase on the page you are checking; official support never messages you first to ask for them.
What does a Binance sign-up link look like?
The official format is binance.com/join?ref=CODE, optionally with a /zh-CN/ prefix. Registering with the invite code BINANBT gives the invitee a 20% trading fee rebate, and stacking the BNB discount brings the effective spot cost to about 0.06%.
I forgot to enter an invite code at sign-up. Can I add one later?
An account that already has a referrer attached cannot be rebound; that is Binance's rule. Only accounts that never bound a referrer have two narrow options: the 90-day Recall Program or Affiliates Rebind, which requires USD 150,000 of qualifying volume within 30 days. Paid "rebind" services are scams.
Where is the safest place to download the Binance app?
Android: the official download page or the direct APK (package com.binance.dev, 321,076,391 bytes). iPhone: an overseas Apple ID in the App Store (ID 1436799971, developer Binance Switzerland AG). HarmonyOS: the package published on the official site. Third-party markets can ship builds with altered deposit addresses.
