Sending USDT BEP20 is straightforward but requires careful attention to the network selection. Always confirm you are sending via the BEP20 (BSC) network, that the recipient's address starts with 0x, and that you hold enough BNB in your wallet to cover gas fees.
Step 1 — Verify the recipient address: Ensure the destination wallet supports Binance Smart Chain and the address starts with "0x." Never send BEP20 tokens to a TRC20 address (starting with T) or an exchange deposit address that only accepts ERC20.
Step 2 — Confirm network selection: In MetaMask or Trust Wallet, confirm your network is set to BNB Smart Chain (Chain ID 56). In exchange withdrawal interfaces like Binance, explicitly choose BEP20 or BSC from the network dropdown.
Step 3 — Ensure BNB for gas: Every BEP20 transaction requires a small BNB fee (typically $0.01–$0.10). If your BSC wallet has zero BNB, the transaction will fail. Buy or transfer a small amount of BNB to your wallet before initiating the send.
Step 4 — Enter amount and send: Input the USDT amount, double-check the destination address, confirm the network is BEP20/BSC, review the gas fee estimate, and confirm the transaction. On BSC, you will receive a transaction hash (TxHash) that you can track on BSCScan.
Step 5 — Verify on BSCScan: Go to bscscan.com and paste your TxHash or wallet address to confirm the transfer completed successfully. Transactions typically confirm within 3–10 seconds under normal conditions.
