What does a BingX referral code do?

A BingX referral code links your new account to whoever owns that code, so BingX starts paying them a running commission out of your trading fee revenue for as long as the account trades. The code does not change BingX's fee schedule itself — it only decides who receives the ongoing commission, and by default that commission goes to the code owner, not to you.

What a referral code actually links

When you create a BingX account through a referral code, BingX doesn't discount your fee schedule — the standard futures rates (0.02% maker / 0.05% taker) apply no matter which code you use. What the code sets is referral attribution: BingX begins paying a running commission, drawn from your trading fee revenue, to whoever owns that code. This binding is set once, at sign-up, and can't be changed by entering another code later. Why a code does nothing once you already have an account →

The welcome perk vs. the ongoing commission

Most referral codes advertise a one-time welcome perk — a small bonus, a voucher, or a limited-window discount. That's the visible part. The commission itself is invisible to most traders: it continues on every trade, and by default it's paid to whoever owns the link — not to the person generating the fees.

A rebate platform is the same code, redirected

loweef is also a BingX referral partner, so opening an account through loweef sets the same kind of attribution — but instead of the commission staying with a link owner, most of it is paid back to you daily in USDT. Current total:

Exchange	Total rate	Welcome boost	Effective taker
AlphaX	65%	—	0.0175%
BingX	60%	70%	0.0200%
OKX	50%	60%	0.0250%
MEXC	55%	65%	0.0180%

Frequently asked questions

Does a BingX referral code lower my trading fees?

No. Referral codes don't change BingX's fee schedule (0.02% maker / 0.05% taker on futures) — a code only decides who receives the ongoing commission your fees generate. Some codes add a one-time welcome perk, but the underlying fee schedule stays the same either way.

Who gets the money from my BingX referral code?

Whoever owns the code. BingX pays that person or platform a running commission out of your trading fee revenue for as long as the account stays active — by default, none of it comes back to you.

Can I get that commission back instead of a one-time welcome bonus?

Yes, through a rebate platform. loweef is a BingX referral partner too, so signing up through loweef routes most of that ongoing commission back to you as a daily USDT rebate — currently 60% of every trading fee.

Can I add a referral code to a BingX account I already have?

Not through the code field — BingX only reads it at account creation, so a new account through the correct link is the reliable path.
