Standard Account: 18 years old is a strict requirement
According to Binance's Terms of Service, the minimum age to register for a standard account is 18. This rule applies globally, regardless of your country or region, and must be met to complete identity verification.
This is reflected in the registration process: during KYC verification, you must provide your real date of birth, and the system automatically checks your age. If you are under 18, verification will fail, and you will not be able to use trading, deposits, or other features.
Although age requirements for financial services vary by region (for example, the UAE previously set it at 21 before lowering it to 18), 18 is the basic threshold for independently opening an account and taking on trading responsibilities.
Under 18: What is Binance Junior?
Users aged 6 to 17 cannot register for a standard account but can open a Binance Junior account through their parent's account.
Its core mechanism is:
- It is a sub-account created and fully managed by the parent's main account.
- The parent must be a Binance user who has completed identity verification.
- One parent account can create up to 5 Junior accounts.
Its features and restrictions are:
- Allowed: Learn about cryptocurrencies, earn returns through Binance Earn (e.g., fixed savings), and send/receive cryptocurrencies between Junior accounts or between Junior and parent accounts.
- Not allowed: Any form of trading (spot, margin, futures, etc.) and independent withdrawals. All actions are under parental supervision.
Age limit details: There are slight differences in Junior account usage permissions by region, for example:
- Age 16 or older: Germany, Poland, etc.
- Age 15 or older: France, etc.
- Age 14 or older: Spain, Austria, etc.
