Whitelisting withdrawal addresses is another security feature provided by Binance. When the whitelist feature is disabled, funds in your account can be withdrawn to any address. Once enabled, funds can only be withdrawn to the whitelisted addresses.

In other words, your whitelisted withdrawal addresses are the only addresses that can withdraw funds from your Binance account. This is very helpful, if you fall victim to phishing and hackers log into your account illegally, they can’t withdraw your funds either.

Once the whitelist feature is turned on, click Add New Address.

Next, choose the withdrawal address for the coin and set a personalized name (tag) for it. In this example, we will whitelist the BNB address generated by the TrustWallet wallet, so we will label this address as “MyTrustWallet”.

The system will generate different withdrawal procedures for the token based on the cryptocurrency you choose to withdraw. For example , when withdrawing BNB (BNB) , you may need to add a note. If you want to send BNB to another account on Binance Exchange, you must add a note. Otherwise, you will lose your funds. Be sure to check your BNB withdrawal address if you need to add a note.

If you need to withdraw to the TrustWallet address, you do not need to add a memo. Leave it blank if you’re sure you don’t need a note. Next, add the address, tick “Add to Whitelist” and click “Submit”.
