Do I receive API rebates for both existing and new users?

No, API rebates are only provided for new users - defined as those who sign up for a Binance account and trade through your platform after your Link status is activated. Rebates are also limited to users at VIP 2 and below, and did not register for an account using a referral code. 

2. Exchange Link
Partners can resolve infrastructure needs with an easy, one-time integration.

If your business provides cryptocurrency-related services - such as white label exchange, asset management platform, strategy aggregators, you are eligible to join the Binance Link program. You’ll need to have a KYB-verified Binance entity account, the necessary licenses to operate as VASPs, and KYC and AML policies. 

To apply, please fill out this form and our team will be in touch shortly. 

What is my withdrawal limit?

The daily withdrawal limit is the lesser of 8 Million or 20% of your total asset balance (including both master account and sub-accounts), based on previous day’s holdings. If you need to increase the limit, please contact your account manager. 

How does the withdrawal process work?

Withdrawals can only be made through the master account. Sub-accounts do not have individual withdrawal limits, as all withdrawals must be initiated at the master account level.  

Can my master account and subaccounts qualify for the Binance VIP program?

No, master accounts and subaccounts under the Exchange Link program are not eligible for the Binance VIP program. You’ll be fixed at VIP 0, with trading fees of 0.1% for both makers and takers. Only standard institutional accounts are eligible to participate in the VIP program and benefit from its tiered fee discounts. 

Can I increase the fee rate of the subaccount? 

Yes, you can increase the fee rate using the “Change subaccount commission” endpoint. The rebate percentage will remain unchanged, even if the fee rate is increased. 

For example: 

  • If the spot trading fee is 0.1%, a $1,000 trade will incur a $1 fee. With a 40% rebate rate, you would receive $0.40.
  • If you increase the fee rate to 0.2%, the same $1,000 trade would now incur a $2 fee. At the same 40% rebate rate, you would receive $0.80.

3. MT4 & MT5 Connectivity
Partners can connect to MetaTrader4/MetaTrader5 via Gateway, OneZero, or PrimeXM.

4. Portal & Widget Link
Designed to monetize Partners’ platforms and easily convert users without extra cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I share API rebates with my users? 
No, Binance Link clients are strictly prohibited from redistributing or sharing API rebates with users. Any breach of this policy may result in disqualification from the Link program, cancellation of rewards, or further action in accordance with Binance’s terms and conditions.

2. What’s the difference between RAW_REQUESTS, REQUEST_WEIGHT and ORDERS?

  • RAW_REQUESTS: The raw count of all API calls, regardless of endpoint.
  • REQUEST_WEIGHT: Each API endpoint has an associated “weight” that counts toward your rate limits. Weights vary by endpoint. Spot API (/api/ and /sapi/) endpoints have different handling and may be counted separately. You can monitor weight usage via the response headers:
    • X-MBX-USED-WEIGHT-(intervalNum)(intervalLetter)
    • X-SAPI-USED-IP-WEIGHT-(intervalNum)(intervalLetter)
  • ORDERS: This refers to the order placement limits. You can track this via:
    • X-MBX-ORDER-COUNT-(intervalNum)(intervalLetter)
    • or through this endpoint GET /api/v3/rateLimit/order (GET /fapi/v1/rateLimit/order for UM Futures)

Note: Limits are tracked separately for api, fapi, dapi, and eapi.

3. I’m getting this error - Code: 1003 “Way too much request weight used, IP banned until 1736507546165”. What should I do? 
This means your IP address exceeded the Spot API weight limit of 6,000 requests per minute. Unfortunately, IP bans are automatic and cannot be bypassed. Please wait until the ban expires. To avoid this in the future, consider distributing requests across multiple IP addresses or switching to WebSocket streams for market data or data that can be fetched through subscribing user data.
