In the previous post, we saw what USDT is and why it’s used so often to receive payments.
Now comes the practical question:
How do I get someone else to send me USDT?
One of the options available within Binance is Binance Pay.
🟢 Step 1: you need a verified account
To use Binance Pay, you need a Binance account and to complete identity verification (KYC). Availability of Binance Pay may vary depending on the country or region.
🟢 Step 2: open Binance Pay
From the Binance app, go to Pay.

Sending crypto does not always have to mean paying blockchain network fees. For everyday payments between supported users, Binance Pay can provide a faster and more convenient way to transfer crypto without the on-chain transaction fee associated with a traditional wallet-to-wallet transfer.
The key difference is that Binance Pay transactions can be processed off-chain within Binance’s ecosystem, rather than broadcasting a new transaction to a public blockchain every time you make a payment. That can make a big difference when sending stablecoins such as USDT for everyday purchases or transfers.
Here’s how Binance Pay compares with traditional crypto transfers and when a zero-fee crypto transfer can make sense.
Binance Pay vs. Traditional Crypto Transfers
At a high level, there are two different ways to send crypto.
A traditional crypto transfer moves assets from one blockchain address to another. The transaction is recorded on the blockchain and normally requires a network fee to be paid to validators or miners.
Binance Pay, on the other hand, is designed for payments within the Binance Pay ecosystem. Instead of creating a new blockchain transaction for every supported payment, the transfer can be handled internally.
This distinction is important: zero fees do not mean the blockchain itself has become free. Instead, the transaction may be settled internally without requiring a separate on-chain transaction.
What Are Binance Pay Fees?
One of the biggest attractions of Binance Pay is the potential to make zero-fee crypto transfers for eligible payments.
When you send crypto through Binance Pay, you are not necessarily creating a blockchain transaction. Instead, Binance can update the balances internally between the sender and recipient.
That means there may be no blockchain network fee for eligible internal Pay transfers.
However, users should always check the payment screen before confirming a transaction because fees and supported features can depend on the asset, payment method, transaction type and current Binance Pay rules.
In other words, don't assume that every crypto transaction on Binance is automatically free. The zero-fee advantage specifically relates to eligible Binance Pay transactions.
How Does an Off-Chain Internal Transfer Work?
This is where Binance Pay differs from sending crypto from one external wallet to another.
Imagine Alice wants to send 100 USDT to Bob.
Traditional blockchain transfer
Alice sends 100 USDT from her wallet to Bob's wallet.
The transaction is broadcast to the relevant blockchain, processed by the network and recorded on-chain. Alice may need to pay a network fee in addition to the amount being sent.
Binance Pay transfer
Alice sends 100 USDT to Bob using Binance Pay.
For an eligible internal transaction, the payment can be handled within Binance's infrastructure rather than creating a new blockchain transaction. The recipient receives the funds in their supported Binance account or Pay balance.
This is one reason Binance Pay can be useful for small, frequent payments where paying a blockchain fee each time would be inconvenient.
Can You Send USDT Free?
For eligible Binance Pay transactions, you may be able to send USDT without a blockchain network fee.
This can be particularly useful for everyday situations such as:
Sending money to another Binance userPaying a supported merchantSplitting expenses with friendsSending stablecoins for everyday purchasesMaking frequent small-value payments
For example, if you want to send 10 USDT to someone and the blockchain network fee for a traditional transfer is relatively high, using Binance Pay can potentially allow the recipient to receive the intended amount without an additional on-chain network fee.
Always check the final transaction details displayed in Binance before confirming.
Why Use Binance Pay for Everyday Crypto Payments?
The biggest advantage is convenience.
Traditional blockchain transfers are excellent when you need to move assets between independent wallets. But they can involve network fees, wallet addresses, blockchain selection and confirmation times.
Binance Pay simplifies the process for supported payments.
1. Potential zero network fees
Eligible Pay transfers can avoid the blockchain network fee associated with an on-chain transaction.
2. Faster payments
Because eligible internal transfers do not need to wait for blockchain confirmation, payments can be processed quickly.
3. Easier recipient selection
Instead of copying and pasting a long blockchain address, Binance Pay can allow users to pay through supported identifiers and QR codes.
4. Useful for stablecoins
Stablecoins such as USDT can be particularly convenient for payments because their value is designed to track a reference currency, such as the US dollar.
5. Better for small payments
When transferring a small amount, a blockchain fee can represent a significant percentage of the transaction. An eligible zero-fee Pay transaction can make smaller payments more practical.
When Should You Use a Traditional Crypto Transfer?
Binance Pay is not designed to replace blockchain transfers in every situation.
A traditional transfer can be the better choice when you need to send crypto to:
A self-custody walletAnother exchangeA DeFi applicationA blockchain address outside the Binance ecosystemA service that specifically requires an on-chain transaction
For example, if you want to move USDT from Binance to your personal wallet, you generally need an on-chain withdrawal rather than an internal Binance Pay payment.
In that case, network fees and blockchain confirmation requirements can apply.
Binance Pay or Traditional Transfer: Which Should You Choose?
The easiest way to think about it is:
Use Binance Pay for payments. Use blockchain transfers for moving crypto between wallets and platforms.
If you're paying a friend, buying something from a supported merchant or sending crypto to another Binance user, Binance Pay can be a convenient option.
If you're transferring funds to a self-custody wallet or another platform, a traditional blockchain transaction is usually what you need.
Is a Zero-Fee Crypto Transfer Really Free?
This is an important distinction.
A zero-fee crypto transfer through an eligible internal payment system does not necessarily mean that there are no costs anywhere in the crypto ecosystem.
Blockchain networks still charge fees for on-chain transactions. Binance Pay can avoid those fees for eligible internal transactions because the payment does not require a separate blockchain transaction.
Think of it like an internal bank transfer versus sending money through a separate payment network. The money can move between accounts without creating a new public settlement transaction each time.
How to Send Crypto with Binance Pay
The exact interface can change as Binance updates its products, but the general process is straightforward:
Open the Binance app.Go to Binance Pay.Select the option to send or pay.Choose the supported cryptocurrency and amount.Select or scan the recipient's supported Pay details or QR code.Review the payment information carefully.Confirm the transaction.
Before confirming, check the recipient, asset, amount and any displayed fees.
As with any crypto transaction, never send funds to a recipient you do not trust, and be especially careful when scanning QR codes or following payment requests.
Binance Pay Fees vs. Blockchain Network Fees
It's useful to separate two different concepts.
Binance Pay fees relate to the Pay service and the specific transaction you're making.
Blockchain network fees are paid when a transaction is submitted to a blockchain and processed by its network.
An eligible internal Binance Pay transaction can avoid the second category because there is no new on-chain transaction required.
This is the fundamental reason users can sometimes send $USDT free through Binance Pay while an external USDT transfer may require a network fee.
Final Verdict: Is Binance Pay Better Than Traditional Transfers?
For everyday payments, Binance Pay can be the more convenient option.
Its ability to process eligible internal payments without a blockchain network transaction can help users save on fees, make faster transfers and avoid some of the complexity associated with blockchain addresses.
Traditional transfers still have an important role, particularly when moving crypto between independent wallets, exchanges and blockchain applications.
The best option depends on where your crypto needs to go.
Sending crypto to another supported Binance Pay user? Binance Pay can offer a simple, fast and potentially zero-fee experience.
Moving crypto to an external wallet? A traditional blockchain transfer is usually the right tool.

The Bottom Line
Crypto payments don't always need to involve a blockchain transaction.
For everyday transfers, Binance Pay can use off-chain internal settlement to make eligible payments faster and potentially fee-free, while traditional crypto transfers remain essential when you need to move assets to external blockchain addresses.
If your goal is to send $USDT free, Binance Pay can be worth considering when the recipient and transaction are supported.
The key is understanding the difference between an internal payment and an on-chain transfer—and choosing the right option before you hit Send.
