What is BNB?
BNB is the native coin of the BNB Chain ecosystem. It is used to pay transaction fees when interacting with BNB Smart Chain (BSC) and opBNB. BNB also serves as a governance token for BNB Chain.
BSC is an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible layer-1 chain. Put simply, that means it supports Ethereum tooling for blockchain apps.
How can you buy BNB in the UAE?
To buy BNB in the UAE on the Crypto.com App (the App):
- Create an account and complete identity verification.
- Deposit funds into your account.
- Tap 'Buy', search for BNB, enter the amount you want to spend and tap 'Confirm'.
Review the order details before confirming, including the amount of BNB and any costs shown in the App.
Can you buy less than one BNB?
Yes. You do not need to buy a whole BNB. In the UAE, you can buy fractional amounts of BNB for as little as 10 AED.
This makes it easier to manage how much you spend, since you choose the amount rather than having to match the price of one full coin.

You can hold either AED or USD as your fiat currency on account. Funding options include bank transfer, debit or credit card (Visa or Mastercard), Apple Pay, Google Pay, or transferring crypto to your wallet.
Depositing AED by bank transfer is free on Crypto.com, as is a USD deposit by Swift transfer. Other transaction fees and spread may apply.
