After borrowing on Binance margin, you need to repay when done. You can repay manually or set up auto-repay. Delayed repayment means ongoing interest charges.

Manual Repayment
Go to Margin trading > Repay > select the token > enter amount (full or partial) > confirm. Interest is deducted first, then principal. For example, if you borrowed 1,000 USDT with 2 USDT interest, you need to repay 1,002 USDT to fully clear the debt.
Auto-Repay
With "Auto Borrow/Repay" enabled, closing a position automatically uses the proceeds to repay the loan. Interest is still deducted first.
Repayment Sources
Repayment draws from your margin account balance. If you don't have enough of the right token, you'll need to buy it or transfer it from your spot account.
Partial Repayment
You can repay a portion anytime. After partial repayment, interest only accrues on the remaining balance.
What If You Don't Repay
Interest keeps accumulating. When debt grows large enough to push your margin ratio below the maintenance level, forced liquidation kicks in. So there's no "not repaying" — either you repay voluntarily or the system liquidates to repay on your behalf.
Confirming Repayment
Check your borrowing history in the margin account. If the outstanding amount shows zero, you're fully repaid.
Best Practice
Make timely repayment a habit. Even small-looking hourly rates add up significantly over time.
