Important Note: These are your limits for using the merchant management platform. We reserve the right to revise these limits at any time according to our policy.
The system calculates limits in a 24-hour rolling. When your order is successfully filled, we will deduct the amount from your limits.
For example, you created a 1,000 USD order at 23:00 on August 18 (UTC+0), and the customer paid at 00:15 on August 19 (UTC+0), the 1,000 USD will be deducted from your transaction limit on August 19.
If you have used the same email to verify for a Personal Account on Binance.com, you cannot upgrade to a Corporate Account. Please use another email to submit your application.
In order to comply with local government regulations, we might require additional information from you. Generally, Personal Account applications only require the followings:
1. Personal details, such as name, date of birth, address;
2. Your ID document, such as ID Card, driving license, passport;
3. Proof of address, such as Utility bill, statements/letters issued by a bank/financial institution, or an authorized insurer (for credit card statements, please mask the card number).

2. Memorandum and Articles of Association / Constitution / By-laws / Operating Agreement;
3. A letter of authorization. Please issue a letter of authorization to Binance and indicate the Binance login email, applicant’s position, authorizing the applicant to operate a Corporate Account on behalf of the company. Note that it must be dated within the past three months. If the company has only one director, then the Letter of Authorization may be signed by that sole director. If the company has more than one director, it should be signed by at least two directors. If using a template, ensure that it is customized to fit your own situation.
4. An official Company Report or Government Documents issued within the last 12 months, including:
a) A list of current directors (natural person),

Additionally, you can search by order ID, order status, order currency, or date range.
