Cashback, not an upfront fee discount.
Binance deducts normal trading fees when you trade. Eligible referral cashback is credited
separately by Binance after the trade, subject to Binance's current Referral Program terms.

Verified Binance referral code
We tested this Binance referral code on .
Our verification covers the invite URL, the field accepting the code at signup, the current
Binance Referral Program terms, and the current fee schedule. Re-verified weekly.
Many sites describe referral codes as "fee discounts." That's misleading. Binance deducts
normal trading fees at execution. The referral code earns you a cashback (kickback)
— a percentage of the fees you paid — credited separately to your Binance account.
Concretely: if you trade $10,000 of BTC/USDT spot at the standard 0.10% taker fee, Binance
charges you $10 in fees at execution. With this referral code active, you'd then receive
approximately $2 (20% of $10) credited back as trading-fee cashback. Your gross fees aren't
reduced; the cashback comes after.
Cashback is paid as trading-fee vouchers by Binance — usable to offset
future trading costs across spot, margin, and futures. Not transferable cash, but real
savings on every future trade.

How to sign up with the referral code (5 steps)
1
Open the Binance signup page with our referral link
Click the primary CTA at the top of this page. It opens accounts.binance.com/register with the referral code CRYPTOREF pre-filled.
2
Enter your email address and a strong password
Binance asks for an email or phone number, then a password meeting their complexity rules. Use a password manager.
3
Confirm the referral code CRYPTOREF appears in the Referral ID field
If the Referral ID field is empty, paste CRYPTOREF manually before submitting. After KYC completes, the code cannot be changed.
4
Verify your email and phone number
Binance sends verification codes by email and SMS. Both must be confirmed to proceed.
5
Complete Binance's identity verification (KYC)
Upload a government ID and follow the liveness check. Once verification completes, your referral code is locked in.
Once verified, the code locks in. You'll see referral cashback credited as trading-fee credits
in your Binance Referral / Rewards Center (More → Referral → Referral Lite or Referral Pro)
after each eligible trade — usable to offset future trading fees.
Already have a Binance account but haven't completed KYC?
If you've signed up to Binance but haven't finished verification yet, you can still
apply this referral code before KYC. Once you complete verification, the code locks in
for cashback eligibility.
After KYC completes, referral codes generally cannot be added. This is the only window
for existing accounts.
Who can use this Binance referral code?
Eligible: new Binance.com signups in countries where Binance.com operates
— most of the EU (spot only on futures-restricted countries), Australia, the UAE, South
Africa, Singapore, most of Latin America, parts of Asia and Africa. Also: existing
Binance.com accounts that haven't completed KYC yet, via the
invite page flow.
Not eligible: United States residents — Binance.com redirects US users to
Binance.US, which is a separate platform with its own referral program, so this code won't
apply there. A handful of other countries are also restricted; check
Binance's restricted-countries page
if you're unsure about yours.
Calculator assumptions
Spot fee: 0.10% per trade at Regular VIP 0 tier (maker = taker — Binance fee schedule)
No — it is cashback. Binance deducts normal trading fees at execution. Eligible referral cashback is credited separately as trading-fee credits (vouchers) in your Binance Referral or Rewards Center, usable to offset future trading fees, subject to Binance's current Referral Program terms.
Why do I still see full fees when I trade with the referral code applied?▾
Fees deduct at trade execution like normal. The referral cashback is credited separately as trading-fee credits after each eligible trade, not at execution. Check the Referral section (More → Referral → Referral Lite or Referral Pro) and Rewards Center in your Binance account to see credited amounts.
Where does the cashback appear in my Binance account?▾
In the Binance app or website, navigate to More → Referral → Referral Lite or Referral Pro. Your cashback ledger (trading-fee credits earned and used) lives there. Voucher credits also surface in the Rewards Center.
Does the code work for existing Binance users?▾
Only before KYC completion. If you created an account but haven’t verified yet, you can apply the code via binance.com/en/invite, then complete KYC. After verification is finalized, the referral code generally cannot be added.
Can I add a Binance referral code after KYC?▾
Generally no. The code must be applied either at signup or via the invite page before KYC completes. Binance treats KYC as the cutoff for referral attribution.
Can I combine the referral code with the BNB fee discount?▾
Yes. The BNB fee discount reduces your gross fees by approximately 25 percent on spot trades. The referral cashback then applies to those reduced fees. Both stack — the calculator above models this with the BNB toggle.
Does Binance Futures need a separate referral code?▾
In most cases the same code covers both spot and futures activation. Confirm in your Binance affiliate dashboard whether futures activations are tracking; if not, futures requires a separate signup flow through the futures referral page.
Which countries are excluded from Binance.com referral?▾
Binance.com does not serve residents of the United States — US users are redirected to Binance.US, a separate platform with its own referral program. A number of other countries are also restricted; see Binance’s official restricted-countries page for the current list.
How long does the cashback last?▾
For the lifetime of the referral relationship while your account remains active, subject to Binance’s current Referral Program terms. Binance can change program terms at any time — we re-verify weekly and update this page if rates change.

Binance Referral Code 2026: CRYPTOREF (20% Fee Rebate) — on Binance Square ↗.
It covers how the rebate stacks with the BNB discount, when rebates actually land, and why
fixed-dollar "bonuses" are separate Binance promos — not part of the code.
