Where to Enter a Binance Invite Code, and How Much It Takes Off Your Fees

"Does entering this code mean I have to pay the referrer extra?" No, and it's the opposite: entering it doesn't cost you anything extra, and what your account gets out of it is a discount on trading fees.

What an invite code / referral code actually is

Binance runs a referral programme: when someone signs up through an invite code, the system links the two accounts. Whether the new account then pays less in fees depends on two things: whether the account is eligible for Binance's referral programme (some regions are excluded; see the Hong Kong question below), and how the referrer has set up that particular code. BNB3311, the one this site uses, is set to a fee discount of up to 20%. Entering a code never adds anything to what you're charged.

So "invite code," "referral code," and "referral ID" are all the same kind of thing: a string that ties the offer to your account. Different names, same job. The one this site uses is BNB3311.

The referrer earns a commission on their side and you get the discount on yours, so there's no need to treat that field as a trap. Worth noting: the offer is locked in at the moment you sign up and has nothing to do with whether you make money later. It isn't "the platform handing you free money," and it doesn't guarantee a profit.

Where BNB3311 goes on the sign-up page

In the full registration flow, entering the code is one of the steps. The sign-up form has an "invite code / referral code" field, and it has to be filled in before you submit. If the field is collapsed, tap the expand link first so the input box appears, then paste BNB3311 in.

If you reach the sign-up page from a link that already carries referral info, the code may already be filled into the field. In that case, just confirm before you submit that the page shows the one you mean to use. Further down this page is the invite code, ready to copy.

Whether you fill it in by hand or arrive through a referral link, look at the page before you submit and check that a code or referrer is showing, so you don't find out afterwards that the code you thought you'd entered never went in.

If you forgot to enter it, can you add it later?

Entering the code at sign-up is simplest. If you missed it, there's still a chance to add it, provided the account isn't currently bound to any referral relationship; which route is open to you depends on the state of the account. Everything below reflects Binance's official FAQs as of October 2026. If you've only just registered, start with Binance's FAQ on Referral Pro Mode: a code left out at sign-up can be bound afterwards on the official binding page, as long as all six of the following hold.

• You registered within the last 30 days
• The account has no deposit or trading records yet
• It has no referral relationship at present
• It's a parent account, not a sub-account
• The details used for identity verification haven't been used on another account in the past 180 days
• It hasn't been flagged for wash trading

That FAQ entry is about a referrer's Referral Pro codes and links, so which kind of programme the code you want to add belongs to affects whether this route works.

An account that doesn't fit those conditions still has the re-binding application, which is harder to qualify for; the rules are in Binance's FAQ on the re-binding feature. It has to be started by the referrer, who generates a re-binding link in their dashboard and passes it to you. Clicking the link doesn't bind you automatically: nothing is submitted until you confirm on the page yourself. Your cumulative trading volume over the last 90 days has to be under 5,000 USD. An account with no trading history is bound as soon as it confirms, while one that has already traded has to submit an application, and the referral relationship is formally established only once cumulative trading volume reaches 150,000 USD within 30 days of submitting.

There's also a route for returning users, aimed at accounts registered more than 90 days ago that haven't traded on or used Binance at all in the last 90 days: you open the link the referrer gives you, log in and confirm the binding. Binance notes that it may not be available in every region.

If you don't meet the conditions, you trade at the normal rate, just without this discount, and closing the account to open a new one with a different code isn't something we'd suggest. An account that's already bound to a referrer can't change or remove that binding, and none of the routes above apply to it. When you help a friend open an account, remind them to enter the code at the sign-up step.

How the discount is actually calculated

An account opened with BNB3311 gets a fee discount of up to 20%, and the percentage may change with Binance's policy. To see how much came off, open your order history after a trade has filled, look at the fee actually charged on that order, and compare it with the standard rate on Binance's fee overview.

A worked example: a spot trade of 10,000 USDT at a 0.1% fee rate costs 10,000 × 0.1% = 10 USDT in fees. At the 20% ceiling, 10 × 20% = 2 USDT, so the most you'd save on that trade is 2 USDT.

To run it with your own amount, enter the figures in our fee calculator and read the result. How to read the fee table, and how much is deducted on a buy and on a sell, is covered in more depth in how Binance fees are calculated.

The saving on a single trade is small, but a fee is charged on every trade, and the difference only shows once the trades add up. That's why it's worth getting the code in at the moment you sign up.

The invite-code discount and the BNB discount are two separate settings

They're two different things:

• Invite-code discount: attached to your account at sign-up, with nothing further to set afterwards.
• BNB fee discount: pay your fees with the BNB in your account. Binance's help article puts the discount at 25% off spot and margin trading fees and 10% off futures. It's a separate switch you turn on in the account.

Where to turn the BNB discount on, and how fees are charged when your BNB balance runs short, are covered more fully in the fees guide.

One caution, though: BNB is itself an asset that goes up and down, so buying a pile of it just to save on fees isn't necessarily worth it — it depends on your trading volume. At the beginner stage I'd suggest locking in the free discount from the invite code first, and weighing up the BNB discount once you're more familiar and sure you'll keep trading. The invite-code discount costs nothing to take, while the BNB discount means holding BNB.

Does everyone get the same Binance invite-code discount?

Is the offer the same for every code?

The percentage varies with platform policy and the referrer's settings. BNB3311, the code this site uses, carries a fee discount of up to 20%. To see what you actually got, open your order history after a trade has filled and look at the fee on that order.

Does the code give a discount if you live in Hong Kong?

Binance's additional notes on its referral programme say that, due to regulatory restrictions, neither the referrer nor the referred user can receive commissions when the referred user is a Hong Kong resident. The notes stop at commissions. Our reading is that the new-user discount is paid out of the referral commission, so with no commission, entering a code brings no discount. The same page lists other cases where the programme doesn't apply: Singapore residents, users residing in Japan, UK retail users and users in Turkey. Users registered in European Economic Area (EEA) countries have also been outside it since 1 July 2026. Taiwan is not on that list.

Are there other steps after entering the code?

No. The code is just one field in the sign-up flow — once it's in, you finish identity verification and funding as usual and you're ready to go.
