Data basis: Global Program ("rest of the card available countries" tier)

KYC requirements

Official: currently supports verified users in selected countries, with eligibility confirmed at application; the application asks for residential address and expected monthly spend

www.binance.com · 2026-11-10

FX is tiered by country — 2% in most card countries and 3% in New Zealand — so total cost at non-card-currency merchants approaches 3%. The biggest uncertainty is eligibility: Binance only says it currently supports verified users in selected countries, confirmed at application, without a country list or any mention of mainland China; limits depend on KYC level and can only be seen in the card dashboard.

What 1,000 USDT buys

Open one virtual card, top up 1000 USDT once (1 USDT = 1 USD) and spend it over 10 purchases; spendable amounts at USD and non-USD merchants, on-chain gas excluded.

① Issuance fee: 0.00 USD
② Top-up fee: 1000 × 0% = 0.00 USD
③ Card balance: 1000 − 0.00 − 0.00 = 1,000.00 USD
④ Spendable at a USD merchant: 1,000.00 ÷ (1 + 0.9%) = 991.08 USD
⑤ Spendable at a non-USD merchant: 1,000.00 ÷ [(1 + 0.9%) × (1 + 2%)] = 971.65 USD
Total cost: USD merchant 0.89% / non-USD merchant 2.84%

Who it suits

Suits: Individuals in supported countries who already use Binance

Not for: Anyone needing confirmed mainland China eligibility; multi-card ad teams

Checklist before you apply

  1. Check your residence: Confirm in writing with support that your residence is supported.
  2. Prepare documents: ask first whether your document type is accepted.
  3. Check the live fee preview in the app before opening.
  4. Use the right network: it must match the deposit page when withdrawing from an exchange.
  5. Start small: top up only enough for one purchase first, and confirm arrival, charges and refunds work before adding more.
