Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can customer service definitely solve my problem? A: Not necessarily. Some issues are constrained by rules (e.g., executed orders cannot be canceled). Agents process things according to the rules and cannot break them for you.
Q: Can I choose a specific agent? A: No. Agents are assigned by a matching system. However, the same agent usually follows up within the same ticket.
Q: Will customer service proactively follow up? A: No. Agents process based on tickets. If you don't prompt them, they might not contact you proactively.
Q: Will multiple agents handling the same ticket cause confusion? A: No. There is a complete record within the ticket. A new agent can also see the history.
Q: Will customer service teach me trading strategies? A: No. Customer service only handles account / operational issues and does not provide investment advice.
Q: CS hours vs. Chinese national holidays? A: Customer service is 24/7 and doesn't take holidays. But there might be slightly fewer Chinese agents during Chinese holidays.
Summary
Binance customer service supports Chinese—Chinese agents respond fastest from 9 AM to 10 PM Beijing Time on weekdays (5-15 minutes). English customer service is fully staffed 24/7, and English tickets are faster during late nights and weekends.

Response speeds for Chinese and English tickets vary greatly by time period—choosing the language based on the time is more efficient.
