WARNING - RANDOM ACCOUNT LOCKOUTS
WARNING! DO NOT USE BINANCE.US. RANDOM LOCKOUTS. ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SUPPORT. A few weeks ago, I went through the binance.us account opening/verification process. Upon successfully completing the process and being verified I was locked out of my account for no reason whatsoever. I hadn't even made a single transaction yet! I followed the automated login procedure to unlock/reactivate my account but when I get to the "Answer Questions" page to verify my account and press the "start answering questions" button I just get a "System Busy" error. So I cannot reactivate my account using this method. FYI the "system" has been "busy" for over two weeks now so this function is obviously broken. I followed the "alternate" unlock/reactivation procedure by opening a support ticket and submitting my reactivation request along with a picture of myself holding my ID and a written unlock request, and a video of myself holding my ID and making the required unlock request statement. When I submitted this ticket, I received an automated response that advised me to follow the automated unlock method I describe above. The ticket asked me if that solved my issue. Obviously it did not solve my issue so I responded to the ticket to request my account be unlocked (again). It has been over a week and I have received no other response from binance.us to that support ticket. I started a binance.us support chat. After an annoying exchange with a bot, I was finally placed in queue at number 70. After waiting for almost 2 hours I was finally able to chat with a real person and explain my issue. The support tech could not unlock my account (supposedly due to security procedures), but "kindly" submitted another support ticket on my behalf that was promised to be handled within 48 hours. The next day I received a response that said the email address associated with the ticket was not in the system so they couldn't help me. This is the exact same email address that I used to open my account, verify my account and that I use to log into my account before it became locked, and the email address that I use when I attempt to log into my account and enter the automated unlock procedure. So, this IS the email address in the system and IS the email address associated with my account. I responded as such to the support ticket. It has been a few days and I still have received no further response from binance support. I have since gone on the reddit forum and other places to research this issue. I have found to my dismay it is very very common. NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING RANDOM LOCKOUTS FROM THEIR BINANCE.US ACCOUNTS AND RECEIVING NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT TO REACTIVATE THEIR ACCOUNTS. This is not the kind of behavior I would expect from a professional exchange that handles millions in people's money. I am very thankful I had not yet transferred any funds to my binance.us account before this issue occurred or I would be seriously freaking out (as I'm sure many are...). BE WARNED! UNLESS YOU ARE OK WITH YOUR FUNDS BEING RANDOMLY LOCKED UP WITH NO WAY TO RETRIEVE THEM, THEN DO NOT USE BINANCE.US!
