Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need KYC to buy Bitcoin with a credit card?A: Yes. Binance mandates Level 1 KYC verification for all card purchases, regardless of amount.

Q: Why does my limit order not execute even though the price reached my level?A: The order may have been placed on a different trading pair (e.g., BTC/EUR instead of BTC/USDT), or partial liquidity at that price caused only partial fills.

Q: Can I cancel an open market order?A: No. Market orders execute instantly; cancellation is only possible for pending limit, stop-limit, or stop-market orders.

Q: Are there daily purchase limits after verification?A: Yes. Level 1 allows up to $50,000 per day; Level 2 raises it to $1,000,000 depending on jurisdiction and document completeness.
