Binance Earn (Savings) is a simple way to Lend and Earn. It offers stable earnings with zero fees. In it you earn popular coins via competitive interest rates by staking BTC, BNB, etc. Binance Savings is a financial product that allows you to profit from competitive interest rates. Upon transferring your cryptocurrencies to Binance Savings wallet, you start earning decent profits. What’s interesting is that the said deposit is redeemable whenever you wish to.

Earlier referred to as Binance Lending, the product in question got its rebranding done to Binance Savings in April 2020. At the same time, Flexible Deposits and Fixed Deposits also got renamed to Flexible Savings and Locked Savings, respectively. Accessible under the “Savings’’ section of the “Earn” tab in the main menu, Binance Savings offers Flexible and Locked Savings products.

In the former, there are no conditions of lockups or penalties on withdrawals. In the latter, higher interest rates are on offer, but with a durational lockup. Locked Staking investors get closely associated with the concerned blockchain community, whilst multiplying their cryptocurrency balance. Binance Earn Savings also lets you earn staking rewards on the blockchains you love.

Although, Binance Earn (cryptocurrency savings account) still differs from a regular savings (bank) account. In it you earn interest on the cryptocurrencies you deposit, either with flexibility or under a lockup, with respectively differing returns.

How does Savings work?

Binance Earn (Savings) involves direct locking of coins on the cryptocurrency exchange. These coins are then used by the exchange for generating savers’ rewards.

In Binance Earn (Savings), you can select from dozens of available cryptocurrency financial products on the platform. You can also transfer your cryptocurrency into either of your solutions of interest (as your funds multiply). You can also cash out your profits easily. Just transfer a preferred amount of cryptocurrency into a Binance Earn product, and reap profits.

Ensuring enough wallet balance is a must to fully benefit from Binance Earn (Savings). The beauty of Binance Earn (Savings) is that in it the users can pre-gauge the risks and rewards. Binance Savings adjusts to the supported assets, interest rates, individual limits, and total subscription limits, per market pulse and their internal risk management.

The primary components of Binance Savings are:

  1. Flexible Savings

Flexible Savings is a flexible-to-transfer and a safe-to-earn-from financial product. It can be subscribed to and redeemed whenever you deem fit. In it, the crediting of funds happens in real-time. Flexible Savings’ interest calculation begins from the day following the subscription. There is a choice of fast or standard redemption on the subscription day.

2. Locked Savings

Locked Savings are flexible deposits, earning you higher profits. In it, locking of your digital assets on a Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchain takes place. Apart from contributing to the network, it also makes available staking rewards. Binance Locked Staking offers a simple avenue for HODL’ers to stake and earn rewards. Locked and Flexible Savings need a minimum amount of cryptocurrency. Locked savings lets you transfer the coins to your flexible savings account prior to the end of its locked duration. Just that in that case interest accrued, if any, would be lost. Ensure you won’t need to access the locked (savings) coins for (at least) its locked duration. Locked Staking lets users reap additional staking rewards over and above the regular rewards earned via Proof of Stake assets. The lock-up rates and the interest rates would differ in accordance with the asset type. In general, terms are of 7 and 90 days.
