The Binance referral code (also called invitation code) is entered during registration in the "Referral ID (Optional)" field. Using a referral code gives you up to 20% trading fee cashback. Enter a valid code when registering on the Binance official website.
Where Is the Referral Code Field?
Web: Registration page > below password field > "Referral ID (Optional)". App: Register > after password > tap "Referral ID (Optional)" to expand the field.
Note: The app field is collapsed by default — tap to expand. Many users miss it.
Via referral link: If you register through a shared link, the code auto-fills.
Commission Structure
The referrer can set a total commission rate (10%-40%) split between referrer and referee.
| Total Rate | Referrer Gets | Referee Gets |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | 20% | 0% |
| 20% | 10% | 10% |
| 40% (VIP) | 20% | 20% |
Example: With 20% total (10% each), on a 10 USDT trade fee, you get 1 USDT back. Commission settles daily.
Can I Add a Referral Code After Registration?
Unfortunately, no. The code can only be entered during registration. If you forgot:
- KYC completed: Cannot change (same ID = one account)
- No KYC yet: Register a new account with a different email
- Contact support: Some users report success, but not guaranteed
Best practice: Have your code ready before registering. Download the official Binance app (iPhone users, see the iOS installation guide) via a referral link to auto-fill.
How to Verify Your Referral Code Worked
Login > "Referral" > Check "My Referrer" information. Commission appears in Assets > Transaction History > filter "Commission" after you make trades.
How to Get Your Own Referral Code
Login > "Referral" > "Invite Friends" > Copy your code/link. Default rate: 20%. Holding 500+ BNB unlocks 40%.
Register on the Binance official website to get your own referral code.
Security Tips
- Do not click suspicious links just for a referral code — phishing risk
- Verify the domain of referral links
- Do not trust "ultra-high commission" promises
- Legitimate referral codes are always free
- Protect personal information when sharing codes
Do referral codes expire?
No. They are permanent with no usage limit.
Will commissions last forever?
The referral relationship is permanent by default, subject to Binance's policy changes.
Can referral commissions stack with BNB fee discounts?
Yes. They are calculated independently, so your effective fee rate is even lower.
