Binance froze your account.
We unlock it.

Binance is the largest crypto exchange on earth — 250 million users, $76 billion daily volume, and a compliance machine that freezes thousands of accounts every week. If yours is one of them, you already know the problem: no clear explanation, no timeline, no human to talk to. We are Swiss lawyers who specialise in Binance account unlocks. We diagnose what triggered the freeze, prepare the exact documentation Binance's compliance team needs, and manage the entire process until your funds are back in your wallet. Over 1,500 cases resolved across 21+ platforms — including hundreds on Binance alone.

What Binance actually did.

When Binance freezes your account, it is not a mistake or a random check. Their automated compliance system — powered by Chainalysis and an internal risk engine — flagged something specific about your account. A transaction pattern. A counterparty address. A jurisdiction mismatch. A deposit that crossed a volume threshold. The system decided to restrict access until a human reviewer signs off.

The problem is that Binance rarely tells you which trigger fired. You receive a generic in-app notification: "Account Under Compliance Review" or "Please complete Identity Verification." The support chat repeats the same templated responses. Your tickets sit unanswered for days. Meanwhile, the compliance deadline keeps ticking.

The freeze is not the real problem. The silence is. Our job is to diagnose the exact trigger, prepare the documentation that addresses it directly, and submit it through the channels Binance's compliance team actually reads.
WHAT BINANCE CAN DO — FROM MILD TO SEVERE

Source of Funds request

Binance asks you to prove where your crypto or fiat came from. Trading may still work — but withdrawals are blocked until you comply.

STAGE 1

Withdrawal block

You can view your balance and trade, but every withdrawal attempt fails. This is the most common restriction on Binance.

STAGE 2

Full account suspension

All functions disabled — no trading, no deposits, no withdrawals. Account is locked pending AML investigation.

STAGE 3

Account termination

Binance closes your account. Funds held in internal compliance queue — withdrawal only after full review, which can take months without legal intervention.

STAGE 4
Binance issues

What happened to your Binance account?

Binance's compliance system can trigger restrictions for a dozen different reasons. Each requires a different legal strategy — select your situation below to see how we handle it.

01

Source of Funds Request

Binance asked you to prove where your crypto or fiat came from. We prepare the complete SoF document package tailored to Binance's requirements.
02

Account Suspended

Your Binance account is fully suspended — no trading, no withdrawals. We identify the cause and build a strategy to restore access.
03

Withdrawal Blocked

You can log in and trade but cannot withdraw. This is often triggered by Binance's automated risk system. We resolve the underlying flag.
04

AML Review

Binance's AML compliance team is reviewing your account. Manual reviews can take up to 10 business days — or months. We accelerate the process.
05

KYC Failed

Your identity verification was rejected — document issues, liveness check failure, name mismatch. We help you pass on the next attempt.
06

Account Closure Threat

Binance is threatening to close your account and demanding you withdraw within a deadline. We negotiate to keep your account or ensure safe exit.
07

Identity Verification Issues

Document rejection, video verification failure, or data inconsistency. We prepare your documents correctly and guide you through re-verification.
08

Enhanced Due Diligence

Binance triggered EDD for large amounts or high-risk profile. This requires extensive documentation — source of wealth, business records, tax returns.
09

Fiat Withdrawal Blocked

Crypto withdrawals work but EUR/USD/GBP withdrawals are blocked. This involves banking rails and SEPA/SWIFT compliance — different from crypto blocks.
10

Deposit Rejected

Your bank transfer or card deposit was rejected by Binance. Often linked to compliance flags on the payment method or source bank.
11

Trading Restricted

Spot trading disabled, certain pairs unavailable, or futures access removed. May be jurisdiction-based or triggered by account flags.
12

Sanctions Screening

Flagged by OFAC or EU sanctions lists — often a false positive due to name similarity or nationality. We prove non-association and clear the flag.
Binance compliance

How Binance's compliance machine actually works

Binance operates the most sophisticated AML compliance system in crypto. It combines Chainalysis transaction monitoring — screening every deposit and withdrawal against known risk indicators — with an internal Risk Management engine that scores users based on transaction patterns, counterparties, jurisdictions, and behavioural signals.

When the system flags your account, it enters a review queue. Automated verification takes minutes to hours. But manual reviews — triggered by suspicious patterns, large deposits, or links to flagged addresses — can take up to 10 business days officially, and often stretch to weeks or months in practice. Every rejected document submission resets the clock.

Binance typically requests: government-issued photo ID (passport, national ID, driver's license), selfie with liveness check, proof of address (utility bill or bank statement under 3 months old), and for enhanced reviews — Source of Funds documentation including bank statements, payslips, tax returns, or proof of crypto origin. In complex cases, video verification may be required.

Communication happens through in-app notifications, emails from @binance.com, and the support ticket system. Binance explicitly warns users to only use official channels — a sign of how prevalent phishing is in the Binance ecosystem.

Our advantage: Our lead partner spent 5+ years as an investigator at a European Financial Intelligence Unit, working directly with exchange compliance teams on crypto asset freezes. We know exactly what Binance's compliance team looks for — and we prepare documents that get approved on the first submission, not the third.

The clock is running

Every day you wait, your options shrink.

Binance compliance deadlines are final. Here is what typically happens after your account is frozen — and why acting in the first 48 hours matters.

Day 0 Account restricted
You discover withdrawals are blocked. A vague compliance notification appears in your Binance app. No explanation of what triggered it. Support chat gives templated responses.
Day 1–3 You are here
This is the window that matters. If you engage professional help now, we can often resolve the issue before Binance escalates internally. Most simple SoF cases are resolved within the first week.
Day 7–14 Compliance deadline
Binance gives 7–14 days to submit documentation. Miss this deadline and Binance may close your account and hold your funds in an internal compliance queue. DIY submissions are frequently rejected here, resetting the clock — if you get another chance at all.
Day 30+ Account termination
Binance closes your account. Funds remain locked pending full compliance review. Recovery is still possible but requires formal legal requests — which take longer and cost more than early intervention.
Don't wait for the deadline.

The earlier we engage, the faster and cheaper the resolution. Most Binance cases that reach us within 48 hours resolve within a week.

Before you do anything

What to do — and what makes it materially worse.

Your first instinct after Binance freezes your account is usually wrong. Here is what actually helps — and what can permanently damage your case.

✓ Do this

  • Screenshot everything immediatelyThe freeze notification, your balance, transaction history, support tickets, compliance messages. Evidence disappears if Binance closes your account.
  • Note the compliance deadlineBinance typically gives 7–14 days. Write it down. Missing it can mean permanent account closure and forfeiture.
  • Gather your source-of-funds recordsBank statements, payslips, tax returns, crypto purchase receipts — anything showing where your funds originated.
  • Get professional help earlyThe first 48 hours are critical. Early intervention prevents escalation and keeps more options open.

✕ Don't do this

  • Don't send angry messages to supportEvery message is logged. Aggressive language gets flagged and can trigger further investigation.
  • Don't submit incomplete documentsA rejected submission resets the review clock. Binance may only give you one chance before escalating internally.
  • Don't trust Telegram "recovery agents"DMs and groups offering to "hack" your Binance account back are scams. Every single one.
  • Don't create a second accountOpening a new Binance account while one is under review violates Terms of Service and can result in both being permanently banned.

Binance
€85,000
Unlocked in 6 days

European trader with a high-volume Binance account frozen after a large USDT withdrawal triggered an AML flag. The exchange requested source-of-funds documentation. The client had submitted bank statements independently but received no response for 3 weeks. We prepared a comprehensive SoF package including a certified transaction narrative, bank confirmation letters, and a timeline of fund origins. The account was fully unlocked within 6 days of our submission, with all withdrawal functions restored.

€42,000
Unlocked in 9 days

Client received crypto as a gift from a family member in 2019 and moved it to Binance in 2024. No purchase receipt existed — the original buyer had no records either. Binance demanded source-of-funds documentation. The client had already submitted a personal statement and was rejected. We reconstructed the chain of custody using blockchain analysis, the gifter's partial exchange records, and a statutory declaration. Binance compliance accepted the package on the second submission.

Account was registered by the client's brother, who had since emigrated and was unresponsive. The client had been using the account for two years with full knowledge but under someone else's identity. Binance flagged the discrepancy during a routine KYC refresh and froze all funds. We coordinated with both parties across two jurisdictions, prepared a formal transfer-of-ownership request supported by notarized affidavits, and worked with Binance's legal team to migrate the account. One of our more complex identity cases — resolved fully.

Business owner whose Binance account was frozen after receiving USDT from a counterparty address that had been flagged by Chainalysis. The funds were legitimate proceeds from a software development contract, but the on-chain path included a mixing service used by a previous holder. We engaged directly with Binance's compliance team, providing notarized proof of the service contract, payment confirmations from the client's platform, and a detailed chain-of-custody analysis showing our client had no connection to the flagged address history.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know. Before you decide.

How long does Binance AML review take?

Binance's official timeline is "up to 10 business days" for manual reviews, but in practice we see cases that stretch to 30–90 days, especially when the initial document submission is rejected. When we handle the case, we typically achieve resolution in 5–14 days because we submit documents that match exactly what Binance's compliance team needs — eliminating back-and-forth rejections.

Can Binance close my account permanently during review?

Yes. Binance reserves the right to terminate accounts that fail compliance review, violate Terms of Service, or are connected to prohibited jurisdictions. If you receive a closure notice, there is usually a deadline to withdraw funds — but even withdrawal may be blocked. We've successfully reversed closure decisions in cases where the initial compliance determination was based on incomplete information.

What documents does Binance accept for Source of Funds?

Binance accepts bank statements showing the origin of deposited fiat, payslips or employment contracts proving income, tax returns, property sale documents, and for crypto — exchange history showing purchase dates and amounts, mining records, or proof of participation in ICOs/airdrops. The key is that every document must clearly link YOUR identity to the funds, and cover the specific transactions that triggered the review.

Can I withdraw while my Binance account is under review?

It depends on the type of restriction. Some account-level suspensions block all activity including withdrawals. Others restrict only deposits or trading while allowing withdrawals. In Source of Funds cases, withdrawals are typically blocked until you provide satisfactory documentation. We assess your specific restriction type during the free initial consultation.

Why did Binance freeze my account without warning?

Binance uses Chainalysis-powered automated monitoring that can flag accounts in real time. Common triggers include: receiving funds from addresses associated with mixing services, large deposits without established trading history, transactions connected to flagged counterparties on P2P, or matching patterns associated with money laundering typologies. The freeze happens automatically before any human reviews your case.

Can you help if Binance already rejected my documents?

Absolutely — this is one of our most common cases. Many clients come to us after one or more failed self-attempts. The typical mistake is submitting incomplete packages, using wrong document formats, or providing explanations that don't address the specific compliance concern. We analyze why the previous submission failed, prepare a corrected package, and resubmit with a professional legal cover letter that addresses the compliance team's actual concerns.

How quickly can you start working on my case?

We begin the initial assessment within hours of receiving your case details. For urgent matters — particularly where Binance has set a deadline for document submission — we can start same-day. The free initial assessment typically takes 2–4 hours to complete, after which you receive a clear picture of your case type, estimated timeline, and recommended approach.

What information do I need to provide to get started?

For the initial assessment, we need: screenshots of the freeze notification or support ticket from Binance, any emails or messages from Binance's compliance team, your account level and approximate balance, and a brief description of your recent transaction activity. You do not need to share login credentials — ever. Once we proceed to active engagement, we will request source-of-funds documentation tailored to your specific case type.
