Is Binance safe?

Regulation and licensing

Binance is the world's largest crypto exchange, but licensing and availability vary by country, and it may not be locally licensed everywhere. Check the rules that apply where you live, and use it at your own responsibility. Availability and service conditions can change with policy.

How to protect your assets

• Always set up KYC identity verification and two-factor authentication (OTP). These are the most basic protections against account takeover.
• Turn on the security features the exchange offers, such as withdrawal whitelists and an anti-phishing code.
• Split large transfers, and always confirm the address/network with a small test transfer first.

Is referral payback safe?

A referral code only lets you get part of your fee back. Your assets stay in your own Binance account from start to finish; PaybackDesk does not custody or trade your assets. The key point is that this is not a structure where you hand assets to a third party.

Risks to watch for

• Fake codes & phishing: always confirm you are on the official sign-up domain (www.binance.com).
• Principal loss in futures: leverage magnifies losses by the same multiple. Trade only within what you can afford to lose.
• Anyone promising "guaranteed profit" should not be trusted. Payback is a fee rebate only and does not guarantee profit.
