Binance is a crypto exchange offering spot, futures, margin and Earn products across hundreds of coins. Order-book depth is what decides slippage on a large trade, so it is the first thing worth checking on any venue, whatever its size.
This guide covers the referral ID, what the 10% fee discount applies to, and where the field sits in the sign-up flow. You can compare it with other deals on our crypto referral codes page.
The fine print
The referral ID is T7AFQEKB. Open the ReferralLinks link, or type it into the referral ID field during sign-up, and you get 10% off spot and futures trading fees.
The discount stays attached to your account for as long as the referral remains active. Binance spot fees start at a base rate of 0.1% per trade, so the code brings that rate down by a tenth.
The current base rate is on Binance’s fee page; the mechanism is a tenth off whatever tier your account is on.
What is Binance, in plain words?
Binance started in 2017 and is one of the larger exchanges by volume. Size alone is not a reason to trade somewhere; order-book depth is, because it decides how much a large order moves the price and how wide the spread stays when the market is busy.
Binance lists a broad range of coins and supports spot trading, perpetual and delivery futures, margin, staking-style Earn products, savings plans and an integrated P2P market for local currency on-ramps.
The platform serves beginners and professionals with two interfaces. A simple interface with card purchases sits alongside the full charting terminal, and you can switch between them as your confidence grows.
Around the core exchange there is Binance Earn for passive yield, auto-invest plans for recurring buys, and the Binance app for trading on the go.
The deal: 10% off Binance spot and futures fees
Create the account through the ReferralLinks link and you get 10% off trading fees, on both spot and futures. The discount is written into the account as it is created. On Binance, fees are a percentage of every trade, so a 10% reduction applies to every position you open and close.
It saves money on each order; it does not compound, because a fee you did not pay cannot earn a return.
To put that in perspective: at the 0.1% base spot rate, a tenth off means 0.09% per trade.
| Trade type | Standard fee | With the code |
|---|---|---|
| Spot | 0.100% | 0.090% |
| Futures | Set by your fee tier | 10% lower than that tier |
Spot figures are Binance’s base rate. Futures fees vary by tier and any BNB discount, so the code cuts whatever rate applies to your account by 10%.
That sounds tiny, but an active trader executing even a few trades a week saves the equivalent of several full trades per year, and on futures, where volume is higher and leverage multiplies turnover, the gap grows faster still.
The discount has no expiry and applies for as long as your account keeps the referral attached.
How to enter the Binance referral code
Open the ReferralLinks referral link, which already carries the ID, and complete registration with your email or phone number. Verify your identity as usual with the standard document check, which unlocks full deposit and withdrawal limits.
If you would rather reach Binance yourself, type the ID into the referral ID field on the sign-up form before you submit it. Either route ends in the same place. The field exists only during registration: an account created without one cannot add it later, which is the single mistake worth avoiding here.
After your first trade, check the fee actually charged against the standard rate for your tier. The fee history shows the real number, and a discount that did not apply shows up there first.
What a 10% fee cut does to a month of trading
A tenth off a fee is a small number applied often. At the base spot rate, $10,000 of volume costs $10 and the discount keeps $1. Trade $100,000 in a month and it keeps $10; trade $1m and it keeps $100.
On futures the same arithmetic applies to a much larger turnover, which is why active futures traders notice it and occasional spot buyers mostly do not.
That is also the honest limit of the deal: it reduces a cost, it does not create a return, and it is not a reason to trade more than you planned.
If you are choosing between two venues, compare the fee you would actually pay on each after any tier or token discount, not the headline percentage each one advertises.
Why a referral can only be attached at sign-up
Binance binds the referral to the account at creation, which is why the field disappears once registration is complete. That is a technical constraint rather than a policy choice: the attribution is written as the account record is created, and there is no later step that can rewrite it.
The practical consequence is that the discount is decided in the first two minutes of your relationship with the exchange. If you already have an account, the honest answer is that this particular code cannot help it, and no amount of support messaging changes that.
What you can do is check the fee tier your account is on, since tier and token discounts are the other levers on the same number.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I enter the Binance referral code?
Type T7AFQEKB into the referral ID field on the sign-up form, or open the ReferralLinks link and the code is pre-applied. The field only appears during registration.
What does the Binance code T7AFQEKB give me?
A 10% discount on trading fees across spot and futures markets, applied automatically to every trade. The code does not change your verification requirements, limits or access to products.
Can I add a Binance referral code after registering?
No. Binance only accepts a referral ID during registration, so the field has to be filled before you confirm the form. An account created without a code cannot add one later.
How much does the 10% discount save?
Spot fees start at 0.1% per trade, so the discount takes them to 0.09%. On futures, where leverage increases turnover, the same percentage applies to a much larger volume, so savings add up faster.
Risks to know before you trade
Trading crypto (especially futures) involves substantial risk of loss. Leverage cuts both ways: it magnifies gains, but it magnifies losses just as efficiently, and liquidation happens automatically the moment your margin runs out. If you are new to futures, start with no leverage at all until you understand how positions behave.
Use responsible position sizing, only trade with funds you can afford to lose, and make sure you are on the official binance.com domain before entering any credentials. Phishing sites that mimic Binance are common; bookmark the real site and check the address bar every time you sign in.
Referral terms can change, so it is worth glancing at the current program details on Binance itself before you commit.

How to check that the Binance code actually applied
Check on the platform, not on a code list. Open accounts.binance.com from its own domain, start the sign-up (or the first deposit) and read the confirmation screen before you approve anything.
A referral that registered shows up as one of three things: a reduced fee in the order preview, a rebate line in the account, or a visible referral tag next to your address.
If none of the three is there, stop and reopen the link from this page instead of signing up and looking for a code field afterwards.
Almost every program in this list attaches the referral at registration only; a code typed later, or a page refreshed later, cannot retroactively claim an account that was created without one. This site re-tests each flow by hand and prints the date in the sidebar.
How we test codes describes what that involves.
What happens if the Binance program changes or ends
Two different things end at two different times. The terms you signed up under usually keep applying to your account while the program runs, and the platform can change those terms with notice, so a rate you earned last month is not a rate you are owed next month.
When a program ends, the code field stops accepting new codes and new sign-ups stop being attributed; existing balances revert to the standard rate on the platform’s own schedule.
Commission already credited is the platform’s obligation to the person who referred you, not something this site can recover or guarantee. If a page here is out of date, it is because the change has not been re-checked yet, not because the number was invented: every figure carries the date it was last confirmed.
