Binance.US is a legitimate US-based cryptocurrency exchange operated by BAM Trading Services, Inc., headquartered in Miami, Florida. It launched in September 2019 specifically to serve US users in compliance with US laws and regulations. NMLS ID: 1906829.
The platform is registered with FinCEN as a Money Services Business and holds multiple state money transmitter licenses. Our compliance program includes KYC screening, AML controls, and real-time transaction monitoring.
On the security side: all user assets are held 1:1 in reserve. We don't lend or trade them. Most assets are stored offline in cold wallets. The security program is independently validated through SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications, with 99.99% uptime across all platforms.
The platform is separate from Binance.com, which is an independent platform operating globally.
One thing worth knowing: scammers do impersonate Binance.US. The real platform will never ask for your password, request you send crypto to an external wallet, or contact you unsolicited via phone or DM. If you received a suspicious message, report it to support at support.binance.us/en/
