Purchasing BNB with PayPal through the CEX.IO App is straightforward. Below is a step-by-step walkthrough:

Step 1 – Download and Launch the CEX.IO App

Get the CEX.IO App from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). Once installed, launch the app to access your account dashboard, where you’ll find wallet, trading, and payment functionalities organized in one secure place.

Step 2 – Create or Access Your Account

If you’re new to CEX.IO, tap Register and provide the following details:

• Country of residence and state (for US users).
• Email address.
• Secure password.

Accept the terms and conditions, then verify your email address through the confirmation link. Existing customers can log in with their credentials.

Step 3 – Verification

Verification is required to comply with KYC/AML standards and ensure secure access to CEX.IO services. The process is streamlined and usually takes under five minutes.

You’ll be asked to:

• Enter your full address and ZIP code.
• Provide a phone number.
• Complete facial recognition.
• Upload a valid ID (passport, driver’s license, or ID card).
   

Once verified, you’ll unlock access to PayPal and other supported payment methods.

Step 4 – Choose BNB and Set Amount

From the main dashboard, select Buy and choose Binance Coin (BNB) from the cryptocurrency list. Enter the amount of fiat you want to spend (USD for PayPal transactions). The app will automatically calculate and display how much BNB you’ll receive.

Step 5 – Link PayPal

If PayPal is supported in your region (currently, the US only), select it under Change Payment Method. Log in to your PayPal account and confirm it is linked as your preferred payment gateway.

Step 6 – Confirm Your Transaction

Review the transaction details, including applicable fees. Then confirm with your chosen authentication method. Your BNB will be credited to your CEX.IO Wallet almost instantly.

PayPal Bitcoin Fees and Charges

While PayPal offers speed and familiarity, it’s important to understand the associated fees. On CEX.IO, PayPal transactions carry the following structure (for US customers only):

• Daily withdrawal limits: $20 – $10,000.

Buying BNB with Cash Deposit or Bitcoin ATMs

Services like MoneyGram let you deposit physical currency and convert it to crypto in your CEX.IO Wallet. This method is widely used by those who prefer to buy Bitcoin with cash, but it can also be used for BNB purchases.
