Transferring USDT between Binance accounts using Binance's Internal Transfer feature is fast, secure and free. This India-friendly guide explains the exact steps, important caveats and safety tips so your funds arrive instantly and without any network charges.
Why use Binance Internal Transfer?
- Zero fees: Transfers between Binance accounts are usually free when using the Internal Transfer option.
- Instant credit: Funds are typically credited within seconds or a few minutes.
- Safe and simple: No blockchain address mistakes because the transfer remains within Binance.
Step-by-step: Transfer USDT (BEP20) via Internal Transfer
Step 1: Log in to Binance
- Open Binance website or mobile app and sign in.
- Complete two-factor authentication (2FA) if enabled. Ensure your account is KYC-verified for full functionality.
Step 2: Open your Wallet
- On web: hover over Wallet → select Fiat & Spot. On mobile: open Wallet tab and choose Spot or Funding wallet.
- Locate your USDT balance (ensure you are viewing the correct wallet where the funds are held).
Step 3: Start the Withdraw/Send flow
- Click Withdraw → choose Crypto.
- Select USDT as the coin.
- If network options appear, choose BEP20 (BSC). Note: for internal transfers the network fee is typically zero if you choose the Binance user option.
Step 4: Choose Internal Transfer (Send to Binance user)
- Pick the option Send via Email/Phone/UID or similar wording that indicates sending to a Binance user.
- Enter the recipient’s registered Binance email, phone number or UID. Double-check spelling and formatting.
- Confirm the recipient also holds a Binance account—internal credit only works when both accounts are on Binance.
Step 5: Enter amount and confirm
- Enter the amount of USDT to send. With internal transfer, the “received amount” should equal the sent amount (no network fee deducted).
- Complete 2FA and any OTP verification (email/SMS) required by Binance.
- Click Submit. The transfer should complete in seconds; check your transaction history for an “Internal” label.
Tips for safe transfers (India context)
- Always verify recipient details (email/phone/UID) — mismatches cause delays or mis-credits.
- Be certain you selected Send to Binance user and not an external wallet address.
- If you accidentally use an external address, the transfer goes on-chain and network fees will apply.
- Keep records of transfers for tax and accounting; Indian crypto rules may require reporting.
- Enable 2FA and avoid public Wi-Fi for financial operations.
- If the recipient’s account has restrictions (e.g., KYC pending), internal credit may be delayed—confirm both accounts are in good standing.
Important caveats and notes
- Binance’s internal transfer feature applies only when both sender and recipient are Binance users. Otherwise the withdrawal becomes external and fees apply.
- An internal transfer will often show as a non-blockchain entry (no blockchain TxID). If you see a blockchain hash, the transfer was processed on-chain.
- UI wording and flows may change — always read the confirmation prompts carefully before submitting a transfer.
- Internal transfer does not alter your tax obligations—keep transaction records for compliance in India.
Troubleshooting
- Transfer not credited: Ask recipient to check Wallet → Transaction History; confirm the transfer shows as “Internal”.
- Wrong option selected: If you used an external address, contact Binance Support immediately with transaction details.
- Account limits: New or restricted accounts may have limits—ensure KYC is complete to avoid transfer restrictions.
Conclusion
Using Binance Internal Transfer to move USDT (BEP20) between Binance accounts is a practical, zero-fee method for sending funds to friends, family or business contacts. It is fast, reduces risk from manual address entry and is suitable for users across India — provided both parties use Binance and you follow the safety steps above.
