Binance's referral commission program is a mechanism that lets users earn passive income by sharing invitation links. Understanding how it works allows you to benefit as well. First register a Binance account to become a user, then get the Binance APP to conveniently view commission data.
How Commissions Work
When you invite new users to register on Binance, a portion of the trading fees generated by those users is paid to you as commission. This commission is ongoing — as long as your referrals continue trading on Binance, you continue earning commission income.
The commission comes from Binance's collected trading fees, not from your referrals' assets. So referrals don't pay any extra, and they actually get a fee discount too — a true win-win.
Commission Rates Explained
Binance's commission is divided into two parts: the referrer's share and the referee's share.
Standard commission rate: Regular users can earn 20% of their referrals' trading fees as commission. If you hold a certain amount of BNB, this rate can increase to 40%.
Distribution mechanism: The referrer can choose to keep all the commission or share it with the referee. For example, choosing an "80% referrer + 20% referee" split means 80% of the commission goes to you and 20% is returned to the referee as a fee discount.
The more generous the sharing ratio, the more attractive it is to potential referrals, and the more people you can invite. Finding the right balance between per-person returns and total income is key.
How to Get Your Referral Code
After registering on Binance, you have your own referral code and link:
Open the Binance APP → Tap the avatar in the top left → Select "Referral Program" or "Invite Friends" → Here you can see your unique referral code and link.
You can share your referral link through social media, messaging apps, chat groups, and more. Every time someone registers through your link and starts trading, you start earning commissions.
Commission Income Example
Suppose you invite 10 people to register on Binance, each trading 10,000 USDT per month. At the base 0.1% fee rate:
- Monthly fee per person: 10,000 x 0.1% = 10 USDT
- Total fees from 10 people: 10 x 10 = 100 USDT
- Your commission income (at 20%): 100 x 20% = 20 USDT/month
If you invite more people or they trade larger volumes, income increases accordingly. Some active referrers earn hundreds or even thousands of USDT per month.
Commission Payment and Withdrawal
Commission income is calculated in real time and automatically deposited to your Binance spot account daily. You can view detailed commission records on the "Referral Program" page, including how much commission each referral's trading has generated.
Received commissions are like any other asset — you can freely trade, invest in earn products, or withdraw them with no restrictions.
Tips to Increase Commission Income
Hold BNB to boost your rate. Holding sufficient BNB can increase your commission rate from 20% to 40% — the most direct improvement.
Invite active users. Commission depends on referrals' trading frequency and volume. Inviting people genuinely interested in crypto is more valuable than randomly recruiting.
Provide valuable content. Attract signups by writing guides, sharing trading insights, etc. Users acquired this way tend to be more active and have higher retention.
Set a reasonable sharing ratio. Giving referrals a fee discount increases their willingness to use Binance, leading to higher trading volumes, which ultimately increases your total income.
Binance's referral commission is a low-barrier, sustainable source of passive income. As long as you're willing to invest time in sharing and promoting, everyone has the opportunity to benefit.
