How to Deposit RMB on Binance? 2026 Latest Methods
Many people get stuck at the first step after registering on Binance: how to get money in?
Like OKX, Binance does not support direct RMB deposits via mainland Chinese bank cards. However, this is not a major obstacle. Mainland users have a well-established fiat on-ramp method: using P2P trading to exchange RMB for USDT via Alipay or WeChat, and then using USDT to trade on Binance.
Binance's P2P entry point differs from OKX's C2C in interface, but the operational logic is similar with some details varying. This article specifically explains Binance's P2P system.
The world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume,leading in security and liquidity.

1. Key Differences Between Binance P2P and OKX C2C
The over-the-counter trading mechanisms of the two platforms are essentially the same, but there are several practical differences:
| Comparison Item | Binance P2P | OKX C2C |
| Entry Point | Homepage "Buy Crypto" → "P2P Trading" | Bottom "Buy Crypto" → "C2C Trading" |
| Number of Merchants | Most globally, sufficient mainland merchants | Higher mainland merchant activity |
| Minimum Purchase Amount | Usually starts from 50 RMB | Usually starts from 100 RMB |
| Supported Payment Methods | Alipay, WeChat, Bank Transfer | Alipay, WeChat, Bank Transfer |
| Dispute Resolution Speed | Relatively Fast | Fast |
Overall, Binance P2P has more merchants, but OKX has a slight edge in active trading among mainland users. Both can handle deposits and withdrawals normally.
2. Detailed Steps for Buying USDT via P2P
Step 1: Enter the P2P Trading Page
Open the Binance app → Tap "Buy Crypto" at the top of the homepage → Select "P2P Trading".
If you can't find it on the homepage, you can also tap "Trade" in the bottom navigation → Swipe right to find "P2P".
Step 2: Select Currency and Amount
The page defaults to the buy interface. Confirm the direction is "Buy".
Select USDT as the currency. Enter the RMB amount you want to spend in the amount field. The page will display quotes from all available merchants on the market.
Step 3: Filter and Select a Merchant
Binance's P2P merchant list is longer than OKX's. When filtering merchants, focus on the following:
- Price: How much USDT can you buy with the same amount of RMB? A higher price means a worse exchange rate. Choose within a reasonable premium range (1-3%).
- Completion Rate: The percentage of completed orders for the merchant. It's recommended to choose merchants with a completion rate of 98% or higher.
- Number of Trades: Merchants with higher trading volumes are more reliable. Beginners are safer choosing merchants with over 500 completed trades.
- Available Payment Methods: Confirm the merchant supports your payment method (Alipay or WeChat).
Step 4: Place the Order
After selecting a merchant, tap "Buy", enter the purchase amount, confirm the order details are correct, and tap "Confirm Purchase".
The system will generate an order and lock the merchant's USDT, while displaying the merchant's receiving account details.
Step 5: Complete the Payment
After the order is generated, a countdown timer will start. Payment usually needs to be completed within 15 minutes.
Open Alipay or WeChat and complete the transfer according to the account details shown on the page.
Payment Notes:
- The transfer amount must exactly match the order amount. Even a slight difference could cause the merchant to refuse to release the coins.
- Leave the transfer memo/note field blank. Do not write anything related to cryptocurrency.
- Take a screenshot after completing the transfer and save it for backup.
Step 6: Confirm Payment and Wait for Coin Release
Go back to the order page in the Binance app and tap "Transferred, Notify Seller".
The merchant will release the USDT after verifying receipt of the payment. The USDT will automatically arrive in your Binance Spot Wallet, usually within a few minutes.
3. Deposit Precautions
Regarding Bank Risk Control: Transfers to unfamiliar accounts via Alipay or WeChat can sometimes trigger risk controls. Large amounts might be intercepted or your account temporarily restricted. If this happens, contact customer service, explain it's a personal transfer, and provide proof to resolve it.
Regarding Batch Deposits: It is recommended not to deposit more than 50,000 RMB in a single transaction. Split large amounts into smaller batches to reduce the chance of triggering risk controls.
Regarding Exchange Rates: The P2P exchange rate is determined by the market. It is usually 1-3% higher than the official USDT exchange rate, which is a normal cost of fiat on-ramp. If the premium exceeds 5%, it is considered expensive. You can switch merchants or wait for the market rate to drop.
