Download the Binance App from Google Play Store or Apple App Store and verify your identity.

  • Then click “BNB,” input the amount of BNB you wish to buy, then hit “Buy” once again.

Now, you must transfer your BNB to Trust Wallet after purchasing it on Binance.

  • Go to Binance and tap on the wallet symbol in the bottom navigation bar to access your portfolio.
  • Then, tap “BNB” and then “Withdraw.”
  • In the “Address” section on the “Withdraw BNB” tab, put your Smart Chain address from your Trust Wallet.
