Does a fee rebate cover deposit, withdrawal or gas fees?

Trading fees vs the cost of moving money

| Cost | When it is charged | Part of a fee rebate? | |---|---|---| | Trading fee (maker/taker) | When an order fills | Yes — the rebate is a share of it | | Funding fee | Between long and short holders at each funding time | No — it isn't paid to the exchange as a trading fee | | Crypto deposit | — | No fee on BingX, MEXC, OKX or Bybit | | Withdrawal / network fee | When you send crypto out to a blockchain address | No | | Gas fee (on-chain) | When a transaction runs on Ethereum-style chains | No | | Transfer between your own accounts | — | No fee and no rebate (spot to futures transfers) | | Card or payment-provider charge | When you buy crypto with fiat | No |

Funding is covered in funding fee vs trading fee.

What the exchanges say about deposits

• BingX: "BingX does not charge fees for crypto deposits" — its deposit guide (updated October 2025) adds that network fees may apply when you send funds from an external wallet.
• MEXC: "All crypto deposits on MEXC are free," according to MEXC's zero-fee page.
• OKX: "You don't need to pay any fees when depositing crypto into your OKX account" (help article updated August 2026).
• Bybit: its fee overview (updated April 2026) says there are no fees for on-chain crypto deposits or for internal transfers; fiat deposits can carry a fee depending on the currency and payment method.

So a deposit fee isn't something you pay on these exchanges for crypto. What you do pay is the sending side's cost: if you move funds from another exchange or wallet, that venue charges its withdrawal fee. Buying crypto with a card or another payment method is different again — OKX notes that a payment method can carry its own charge from the provider, separate from anything OKX charges.

Withdrawals and gas fees

• OKX: the withdrawal fee "is always paid by the withdrawing party" and the network fee "is charged once per withdrawal transaction, regardless of the withdrawal amount."
• MEXC: withdrawal fees "are determined by the respective blockchain network" and can change when the network is congested; withdrawals to another MEXC user's address are free.
• Bybit: the withdrawal fee depends on the coin and chain and "is fixed for any withdrawal amount"; by default it is deducted from the amount you enter, and internal transfers to another Bybit account are free.
• BingX: the deposit network on BingX has to match the network you send from — "Using the wrong network can result in a loss of funds."

On Ethereum and similar chains the network fee is called a gas fee: it is priced by the computation a transaction uses and rises when the chain is busy, which is why the same asset can cost more to withdraw on one network than another. Trading on the exchange itself happens on the exchange's own ledger, so orders pay a trading fee but no gas.

Why a rebate stops at trading fees

A rebate service pays out of the affiliate or IB commission the exchange pays its partner, and that commission is calculated on trading fees. OKX's affiliate rules describe the commission as "a direct rebate (return) of the trading fees your invitees pay." A deposit, a withdrawal or a gas payment generates no trading fee, so there is no commission behind it and nothing to share. That is also why a rebate is quoted as a percentage of trading fees — up to 60% on partner exchanges — and never of the money you move in or out (what a fee rebate is).

Rebate payouts and withdrawal fees

Rebates paid to your exchange UID arrive as a transfer inside the exchange, so the payout itself doesn't cost a network fee (when rebates are paid out). You pay a withdrawal fee only if you later send the funds to an outside wallet — on your own schedule, on the network you choose.

Keeping these costs low

• Pick the network deliberately. The same asset can carry very different network fees on different chains; the exchange shows the fee for each network on the withdrawal screen.
• Batch withdrawals. OKX and Bybit charge the network fee once per withdrawal regardless of the amount, so fewer, larger withdrawals cost less than many small ones.
• Move funds between your own accounts internally. Transfers inside an exchange are free and never touch a blockchain.
• Cut the fee a rebate does cover. Trading fees are the cost that repeats with every trade — maker orders, your tier and a rebate all work on that line (how to reduce trading fees).

Standard trading fee rates by exchange are on the crypto futures fee index. Rebate figures are estimates based on published fee schedules; deposit and withdrawal terms are set by each exchange and can change.
