This short guide will show you how to save your external crypto wallet addresses in an address book for easy access as well as how to enable address whitelisting. Both of these features are optional but recommended for convenience and security.
Saving your external crypto wallet addresses allows you to withdraw crypto to your wallets outside of Binance.US without needing to copy and paste the address every time or risk entering the wrong address.
Whitelisting, meanwhile, is an optional security feature that prevents withdrawals to any addresses which you have not already designated as your own.
Note: At the moment, whitelist features are only available via the Binance.US website and not on the mobile app
Adding Withdrawal Addresses to your Address Book
Adding Withdrawal Addresses to your Address Book
Adding your withdrawal addresses will save you time and help you to avoid errors when withdrawing your crypto to an external wallet. It is optional but recommended.
1. Sign in to your Binance.US account on your web browser
2. Hover over your email address in the top-right corner and click Security from the drop down menu
3. From the Security screen, scroll down to locate the Address Management panel and click Manage Addresses
4. Click Add Withdrawal Address in the top-right corner
5. From the popup window you can select the cryptocurrency type (e.g. BTC), choose the network you would like to send it on, give the wallet a label to help you identify it (e.g. 'My Bitcoin Phone Wallet'), and enter the wallet address.
Importantly, make sure that you double-check the address is correct and matches the address type for the network selected. Once you have verified that the address is correct, click Next
6. From now on when you attempt to withdraw crypto from Binance.US to your external wallet, you can click the Contact Icon under Recipient Address to select and autofill your saved address.
Enabling/Disabling Whitelist Only Withdrawals
Enabling/Disabling Whitelist Only Withdrawals
You can also choose to enable whitelisted address withdrawals only, which is optional but recommended. When enabled, you will only be able to withdraw crypto to your approved addresses. This helps to ensure that your crypto is only withdrawn to addresses under your control.
To enable/disable whitelist only withdrawals:
1. Navigate to the Address Management screen by following steps 1-3 above.
2. On the Address Management screen, click to toggle the white switch beside Whitelist Off.
In the image below, whitelist is not yet enabled. When enabled, the switch will move to the right with a green background and the text next to it will change to Whitelist On.
To disable it, simply click to toggle the switch back to the left.

Lastly, you'll need to add the saved addresses you approve to your whitelist, so that you'll be able to withdraw to them.
To add saved addresses to your whitelist:
1. Navigate to the Address Management screen by following steps 1-3 above
2. Click the Star icon to the right of the addresses you want to approve for withdrawals. If the star is filled (see below), the address is whitelisted, and can be withdrawn to when whitelist only withdrawals are enabled
