How to transfer assets from Binance to CommEX

In the fall of 2023, the largest crypto exchange Binance announced its departure from the Russian Federation. Then still acting head Changpeng Zhao sold the Russian business to the CommEX platform.

The procedure is planned to be completed by February 2024. In the article – how to switch and transfer from Binance to CommEX assets. Commissions for sending coins can not be paid.

How to link CommEX and Binance accounts

1. On the CommEX website, click on the “Registration” button. You can switch to Russian in advance.
2. Select the “Register on Binance” method.
3. The program will transfer to the site of the Binance exchange. You need to enter your linked email or phone number and click on the “Next” button.
4. The program will automatically return to the CommEX site.
5. Select the method of authorization – by e-mail or phone number. Enter your data.
6. The program will ask you to specify your date of birth. Only adult users can register an account. A newcomer will be assigned a unique identifier (UID). If available, you can specify a referral ID to get a discount on transactions.
7. Agree to the terms of service and click on the “Create Account” button.

Before transferring assets to Commex, it is necessary to set up account protection. It is recommended to enable two-factor authentication, anti-phishing code and create a whitelist of IPs for money withdrawal.

The rest of the options are optional. Instructions on how to configure the settings:

1. Go to the “Security” section.
2. Choose the method of authentication – with the help of Google Authenticator or by SMS. In the first case, you will need to download the program to your smartphone and follow the instructions. In the second case, you need to bind your phone number to receive the codes.
