CEX.IO BNB (former Binance Coin) Wallet: Easy Access for iOS, Android, and Desktop Users

BNB (previously — Binance Coin) is the native cryptocurrency of the Binance ecosystem. Its main role is to power transactions on its platform. But, what could set BNB apart is its versatility — from offering trading fee discounts to fueling BNB Chain’s decentralized applications (dApps). Beyond the exchange, BNB can be used for payments, travel bookings, and even NFT marketplaces. 

CEX.IO offers several types of wallets, providing different ways to access your BNB holdings. Those looking to enjoy the crypto market from the comfort of their homes can utilize our web wallet for desktops and laptops. 

On the other hand, those preferring on-the-go access can download and install an Android crypto wallet or iOS crypto wallet for mobile and tablet users. In both cases, all you need is a reliable internet connection, and you’re good to go. 

There’s a way you can manage your BNB holdings offline without having to connect to the internet beyond CEX.IO. This is called a cold wallet, which typically comes in the form of a physical device resembling a USB or external memory device. 

Although this is also a valid way to keep your BNB holdings safe, it does require users to take care of their private keys themselves. So, losing private keys also means losing access to one’s crypto holdings. For this reason, most beginners choose custodial wallets, where third parties, CEX.IO in this case, take care of users’ private keys, providing them with peace of mind. 

Ultimately, the decision rests on users and their needs and preferences. 

Establishing a BNB wallet with CEX.IO is straightforward and typically takes under six minutes to complete. Here are the steps:

1. Visit our official website.

5. Verify your identity according to KYC/AML policies by providing the necessary documents. 
6. Once this is all set, you can access your BNB Wallet through the user profile. 
7. For on-the-go access, visit your mobile store (Android or iOS) to download our crypto apps and follow the steps outlined above.
