Confused by Binance's multiple accounts? sign up for Binance then download the Binance APP — the Assets page shows everything clearly.
Account Types
Funding Account
For deposits, withdrawals, and P2P trading. Crypto purchased via P2P goes here.
Spot Account
For trading. Funds must be here to buy/sell on the spot market.
Futures Account
For derivatives trading. Transfer funds here before opening positions.
Earn Account
For yield products.
Margin Account
For leveraged spot trading.
Why Multiple Accounts?
Risk isolation. A futures liquidation won't affect your spot or funding account assets. Each account's funds are independent.
Transferring Between Accounts
- Open Binance APP > Assets
- Tap "Transfer"
- Select source and destination accounts
- Choose coin and amount
- Confirm
Features: Instant, free, unlimited frequency.
Common Fund Flows
- Bought crypto via P2P → Want to trade: Funding → Spot

The Assets page shows total portfolio value and each account's breakdown. Tap individual accounts for per-coin details.
Notes
