Binance account, I’m in US, can’t get into old account to transfer or withdraw

[chocula]

I did not pull my funds from Binance.com and can no longer access them. I went online to get help, but could not find a phone number or a way to do this.

I opened a Binance.us account, but they are not connected and that did not help.

I try to sign into the binance.com site, but the verification wants me to blink my eyes or shake my head. After doing it, I get a message saying the validation failed.

Any chance I can get this resolved? Any ideas on how to do it?

Thank you

I don't think you'll be allowed to open or validate your account at ---.com if your account is registered at ---.us. Afaik Binance has implemented restrictions for US citizens, which are only allowed to trade on ---.us. Before you validate your account, I advise you to send a ticket to support for further consultation.

You tried to access binance after 2 years?

Binance started to block US customers even after year they announced that they will no longer serve US residents and they also mentioned that yo should transfer any of your assets within 90 days, which means people who crossed that time limit cannot withdraw anything.

Still you can ask for the support team to help recovering the funds and I believe you have less than 1% of chance to get those funds back.

Binance has started blocking U.S. users from accessing its platform, The Block has learned.

An email obtained by The Block directed a user to withdraw their funds within 90 days if they were based in the U.S.

The move comes more than a year after Binance first announced that it would stop serving U.S. residents from September 2019.

This is one of the reasons it has always been emphasized here. Never use your exchange's account as a wallet to key your crypto long term. Anything can happen so quick when It comes to crypto trading platforms.
- They can get seized by authorities
- They can shutdown any day
- They can get hacked
- They can just lock up your funds for no good reason

There's an option to open a support ticket on the site. I don't think there's a phone number for that.

Binance.com is supposed to be used by US Citizens anymore that's why the verification failed. Try your luck with their customer support.

Were you verified with binance?


I assume you were?



What about people who are US Citizens but are expats and abroad all the time and never logged into their binance account in the US?  Can those users still use binance without any issue since they never logged in with a US ip address?

Afaik, actually not allowed, your identity is the first identification that you're still bound by some US laws regarding personal finance.
However, you can open a main binance account as long as you don't do KYC. Or if you have a company that is located and registered overseas, you are allowed to register for your company with your company identity.

Well im abroad almost always and have a binance account and a us citizen. The last time i logged into binance, i could without any issue.  Reason being i never did verification and because im abroad and thus my ip address is not a US ip address.  But you are saying i can't use it anymore?

But you are saying i can't use it anymore?

I'm not saying you can't, only that you're not allowed access (trading or other activities) based on policies of binance.com as far as I'm concerned. This is one of the news about main Binance policy in June 2019, and still news back in November 2020, means this policy isn't there are changes.

Of course you have no problem accessing the main Binance sites from other countries, but the consequences will still be if your identity is caught.
