How to use the Binance Card and what are the cashback rewards?

Card Activation and Setup Process

1. After receiving the physical Binance Card or activating the virtual card via the Binance app, users must log into their verified Binance account.

2. Navigate to the “Card” section under “Wallets”, then select “Activate Card” and follow the on-screen instructions including identity verification steps.

3. Users are required to set a 4-digit PIN through the Binance app before first use — this step is mandatory for both online and in-store transactions.

4. Once activated, the card appears in the “Cards” tab with its full 16-digit number, CVV, and expiry date visible only after authentication via biometrics or password.

5. The card supports Apple Pay and Google Pay integration; users can add it directly from the Binance app by selecting “Add to Wallet” and completing device-specific security prompts.

Spending Mechanics and Supported Networks

1. The Binance Card operates on the Visa network globally, enabling payments at over 80 million merchants accepting Visa.

2. Funds are drawn instantly from the user’s designated Binance Spot Wallet balance, with real-time conversion from cryptocurrency to fiat based on live exchange rates.

3. Each transaction triggers an automatic sell order for the selected crypto asset — users may pre-configure preferred assets such as BTC, ETH, BUSD, or ADA for spending priority.

4. ATM withdrawals are supported in more than 50 countries, with daily limits enforced depending on KYC level: Level 1 allows up to $2,000 USD equivalent per day, while Level 2 raises it to $10,000 USD equivalent.

5. Merchant category code (MCC) restrictions apply — gambling, adult content, and certain high-risk verticals are blocked by default unless manually enabled in advanced settings.

Cashback Reward Structure

1. Cashback is calculated as a percentage of the fiat value of each qualifying purchase and credited within 72 hours to the user’s Binance Spot Wallet.

2. Base cashback starts at 2% for all purchases when holding at least 100 BNB in the user’s Binance account.

3. Tiered multipliers increase rewards: holding 1,000 BNB unlocks 4%, while 5,000 BNB grants 8% cashback on all eligible transactions.

4. Certain categories offer boosted returns — travel-related spends yield an extra 1% on top of the tiered rate, capped at $500 USD monthly bonus per user.

5. Cashback is distributed exclusively in BNB, regardless of the original spending asset, and is subject to a minimum threshold of $0.10 before crediting.

Fees and Limitations

1. No issuance fee applies for standard virtual cards; physical card delivery incurs a one-time $15 USD charge for most regions.

2. Currency conversion fees range between 0.5%–1.5%, depending on the origin asset and destination fiat pair, applied during real-time settlement.

3. Inactivity fees of $2.50 USD are deducted monthly if no transaction occurs for 90 consecutive days.

4. Chargebacks initiated by cardholders trigger a $10 USD administrative fee, recoverable only if the dispute is resolved in the user’s favor.

5. Reload limits mirror existing Binance deposit caps — for example, bank transfers are capped at $50,000 USD weekly for Level 2 KYC users.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use my Binance Card to pay for subscriptions like Netflix or Spotify?A: Yes, recurring payments are supported provided the merchant accepts Visa and does not fall under prohibited MCC categories.

Q: Is cashback available for cryptocurrency purchases made on exchanges?A: No, cashback applies solely to point-of-sale and online merchant transactions processed through the Visa network — exchange deposits and peer-to-peer trades are excluded.

Q: What happens if my BNB balance drops below the required tier threshold mid-month?A: Cashback percentages reset immediately upon falling below the threshold; prior purchases retain their originally applied rate, but new transactions reflect the lower tier.
