# 2.2 Binance Account Configuration
This page explains how to configure your Binance account so it can be connected to unCoded.
**Security Requirement:**
Before you can create or use sub-accounts and API, Binance requires you to have at least **two security methods enabled**:
* **E-Mail verification** (standard, always required).
* **Plus one more method**, such as:
* ✅ Google Authenticator (recommended)
* ✅ SMS Authentication
* ✅ Security Key (YubiKey, etc.)
* To enable this:
* Log in to your [**Binance account**](https://accounts.binance.com/en/login) on the web and go to your [**dashboard**](https://www.binance.com/en/my/dashboard).
* On the left-hand side, click **Account → [Security](https://www.binance.com/en/my/security)**.
* Add and activate **at least one** extra security method next to your email.
A Sub-Account allows you to separate unCoded’s trading activity from your personal trades.
* Log in to your **Binance account** on the web and go to your **dashboard**.
* With your security settings correctly configured, select Sub-Accounts from the left-hand menu.
* Choose [**Account Management**](https://www.binance.com/en/my/sub-account/account-management).
* Click **"Create Sub Account"**.
* **Choose the account type**:
* **email (recommended):** A dedicated login for the sub-account.
* **Virtual email:** No separate login.
* **With real Email Sub Account:** After the sub account is created, go back to **Account Management**, find the new sub account, click the **three dots** and select **Switchable**.
* This lets you switch accounts from your profile (top-right) and gives the sub account the **same UI** as the main account.
* **Fund the Sub-Account**:
1. In the drop down of the **Sub Accounts**, go to the [**Asset Management**](https://www.binance.com/en/my/sub-account/asset-management).
2. In the row of your new sub account choose **Transfer In**.
3. On the transfer page:
* Select the **currency** (USDC, FDUSD, or BNB).
* Enter the **amount** to transfer.
* Confirm the transfer.
4. Recommended funding:
* **USDC** → for users **within the EU** (stable and widely supported).
* **FDUSD** (recommended) → for users **outside the EU**, since Binance offers **zero trading fees** with FDUSD pairs.
* **BNB** → keep at least \~\$50 worth. Binance uses BNB to pay fees and gives you a **25% discount** on every trade.

***
* In Binance, go to your **Dashboard → [API Management](https://www.binance.com/en/my/settings/api-management)**.
* **For Sub-Accounts:** First go to **Dashboard → Sub-Accounts**, choose the sub-account, and then open[ **API Management**](https://www.binance.com/en/my/sub-account/api-management)**.**
* Click **Create API** and choose **System Generated API Key**.
* Label the key (e.g., `unCodedBot`).
* Confirm the creation using your **security methods** (Binance will always require e-mail + one additional method such as Google Authenticator or SMS, see 1.3.).
* Copy the **API Key** and **Secret Key**.
