This article describes each service type in more detail, along with their respective processing times, fees, and expected outcomes.At Binance, safeguarding user assets is our top priority. We strive to provide an easy-to-use platform, but we understand that mistakes happen – particularly when depositing funds to your Binance account.We understand the frustrations that can arise when deposits go missing or encounter issues during the deposit process.

Each month, we process approximately 4,000 retrieval applications, restoring roughly 7 million USDT in value.This article provides an overview of our recovery process, rules, and helpful tips for retrieving funds if there's an issue during the deposit.Self-Custodian Wallet vs. Platform WalletWhen you deposit assets into your Binance account, your funds are directed to a unique "deposit address" that Binance manages for you. Your Binance deposit address is distinct from addresses in self-custodial wallets like Trust Wallet, Metamask, etc. In a self-custodial wallet, users hold their wallet's private keys, thus fully controlling their funds. However, when you deposit funds on a centralized platform like Binance, we manage the wallets and deposited funds on your behalf. For more information, please check out How and Why Assets Move Between Binance Wallets on deposit addresses.Therefore, reclaiming assets sent to an incorrect address requires a vastly different approach when dealing with a centralized exchange.How to Deposit CorrectlyPrevention is better than cure. Therefore, it is advisable to check the supported tokens and networks before making any deposit of unlisted tokens to prevent any loss of assets. 1. You can also go to the Deposit & Withdrawal Status page to check if the deposit network status is normal. If you deposit to a suspended network, your tokens will not be credited immediately. Do note that if you cannot find the tokens here, it means that the token is not supported on Binance.2. Click “Normal” and you will be redirected to the Deposit Crypto page. Please note that only supported networks on Binance platform are shown. If you deposit via another network, your assets might be lost. 3. Check the deposit address and memo/tag (if required). You can also check the token’s contract address to make sure that the one you are depositing will be credited correctly.For more details, please check out How to Deposit Crypto to Binance.Types of Deposit Retrieval and How to Retrieve Lost FundsIf your deposited funds do not reflect in your Binance account, you can request self-service recovery.

This table does not represent a binding commitment from Binance to recover your funds in every circumstance. Ultimately, you are responsible for your funds, and it's essential to thoroughly understand our services before using them.Disclaimer: This table only contains general information, and certain retrieval processes may take longer than stated. Various factors can extend the duration, including the type of unsupported tokens and the complexity of their recovery. Fees are subject to change and not fixed. They may vary in accordance with changing market conditions, operational costs, and technological advancements.Different Types of Deposit RetrievalBelow are examples of situations where incorrect deposits may occur.Deposit memo missing or incorrectA tag or memo is a unique identifier assigned to each account to ensure a deposit is credited into the appropriate account. When depositing specific cryptocurrencies, such as BNB, XEM, XLM, XRP, KAVA, ATOM, BAND, EOS, etc., it's essential to input the corresponding tag or memo to ensure a successful transaction.For more information, refer to How to Retrieve Crypto Deposit with Wrong or Missing Tag/MemoDeposit old or delisted tokensPeriodically, we rigorously evaluate each digital asset listed on our platform to ensure it continues to meet the high standards we have set. Should a coin or token fail to maintain these standards, or if the industry landscape changes, we conduct a thorough reassessment and may opt to delist it. We believe this approach better safeguards all our users. Be careful not to deposit delisted tokens to your Binance account. You can find more information on our delisting announcements page.Deposit not creditedDespite correctly entering all details required for deposit (i.e., the token, network, and address), some cryptocurrency deposits may not appear in your account as expected. This delay might result from high traffic on certain blockchain networks, causing congestion and, hence, slower processing times. Moreover, we sometimes employ extra security measures to guarantee the transaction's correctness. Should your deposit still not be reflected in your account after a considerable period, we kindly request you to contact our customer support for further assistance.Deposit to hot walletWhen you make a deposit to Binance, you send your tokens to a specific deposit address. These tokens are then moved to one of our hot wallets, as with most exchanges. However, note that when you make withdrawals, the sending address won’t be the same as the deposit address you used before, but rather one of our hot wallets. When making deposits, be careful not to send assets to the hot wallet withdrawal address. Follow the deposit instructions and double-check the deposit address to avoid problems.Depositing unlisted tokens on supported networksIf you deposit a token that isn't supported by our platform, it won't appear in your wallet. For a comprehensive list of tokens and networks supported, please visit https://www.binance.com/en/network.Deposit unlisted tokens on unsupported EVM networksEVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) is a pivotal component of the crypto ecosystem. Recognizing this, we have extended our expertise and positioned ourselves as a frontrunner in providing EVM retrieval solutions. Current supported EVM-compatible networks are OKC, KCC, and CRONOS (more networks will be supported in the future).Cross-address depositA cross-chain deposit refers to the process of transferring tokens from one blockchain address format to another blockchain address format. For example, sending DOGE tokens to a DGB deposit address. Please be informed that such retrievals are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. There is no guarantee of successful retrieval.Smart retrievalBinance continually works towards improving efficiency and shortening recovery times through innovative measures. With the Smart Retrieval process, we cater to specific tokens via MATIC, TRX, BSC, FTM, ETH, HT networks (and more to come). With this process, users can enjoy reduced recovery time (up to 14 working days), while paying 5 BUSD. In case you deposit an unsupported token to any of these networks and notice a 'retrieve now' button in your recent transaction record, simply click on it to initiate the return of your funds.BNB Pioneer Burn ProgramBinance has launched the BNB Pioneer Burn Program. This initiative is aimed at assisting eligible users who have inadvertently lost tokens while utilizing the BNB Smart Chain. As part of the BNB Pioneer Burn Program, Binance will compensate users for their losses in accepted cases, accounting for the lost tokens in our quarterly BNB token burn activities.
