Does your company need to conduct crypto-related business? A personal account won't suffice — Binance offers dedicated corporate accounts. The registration process is more involved than personal accounts, but it unlocks additional exclusive services.
The corporate account registration portal is on the Binance website. Individual users can first register a Binance personal account to explore features. Download the Binance app for more convenient account management.

Corporate Account Registration Process
Step 1: Choose registration type
- Visit the Binance website
- Select "Corporate/Institutional Account" on the registration page
- Fill in basic company information
Step 2: Submit KYB documents KYB (Know Your Business) typically requires:
- Business registration certificate (business license or equivalent)
- Articles of association or organizational documents
- Ownership structure
- Beneficial owner information
- ID documents for directors and executives
- Company address proof
- Description of business scope
Step 3: Compliance review Binance's compliance team reviews all submitted materials to confirm:
- The company is legally registered
- Business scope doesn't involve restricted industries
- Beneficial owners pass background checks
- Fund sources are legitimate
Step 4: Approval Once approved, the corporate account is activated and ready to use.
How Long Does Review Take?
Corporate KYB review typically takes 5-15 business days — much slower than personal KYC. If documents are incomplete and need supplementation, the timeline extends further.
Prepare all materials in advance and submit them completely in one go to avoid delays from back-and-forth.
Which Companies Need a Corporate Account?
Investment firms/funds: Managing crypto asset portfolios. OTC trading firms: Conducting large-volume crypto buy/sell operations. Mining companies: Managing mining revenue and trading. Payment companies: Integrating crypto payment functionality. Project teams: Managing project tokens and funds. Market makers: Providing liquidity on Binance.
Corporate Account Exclusive Features
Sub-account management: Create multiple sub-accounts for different business lines or strategies. Each sub-account can have independent API and permission settings.
Higher API limits: Higher request rate limits suited for high-frequency trading and automated strategies.
Enterprise OTC: Access better bulk trade quotes and higher trading limits.
Dedicated support: Large corporate clients may receive a dedicated account manager.
Compliance reports: Enterprise-grade trading reports and tax documents for accounting and auditing.
Corporate Account Limitations
High entry barrier: Requires extensive documentation and strict review. More compliance requirements: Corporate accounts need periodic KYB updates and compliance checks. Not suitable for individuals: If you're just a personal trader, corporate account complexity is unnecessary.
Can a Personal Account Be Converted to Corporate?
Usually not directly. Corporate accounts need independent registration with corporate email and company information. However, after completing corporate registration, you can transfer assets from your personal account.
What If Registration Is Rejected?
Possible reasons:
- Incomplete or unclear documents
- Company's jurisdiction is outside Binance's service area
- Business scope involves restricted industries
- Beneficial owners didn't pass review
After rejection, contact Binance support to understand the specific reasons, supplement materials, and reapply.
If your company has legitimate crypto business needs, the Binance corporate account offers professional-grade services and tools worth the effort of completing the registration process.
