What the code does

The BN16188 referral code provides up to 20%* off trading fees when used during Binance account registration. The discount applies to spot trading, futures trading and most non-OTC products. The rate that actually applies is the one shown in your own account after sign-up.

Registration flow as of 2026: visit binance.com (or the regional subdomain appropriate to your jurisdiction), enter email plus password, enter BN16188 in the referral code field during signup. New accounts that missed it can bind within 30 days if eligible (no deposits or trades yet, no existing referrer); once a referral relationship exists it can't be changed or removed. The actual discount ratio follows Binance Affiliate policy at the time of settlement.

The first screen carries a single “Email/Phone number” field — empty here — a checkbox agreeing to Binance’s Privacy Notice, and the yellow Register button. Below sit three third-party sign-up routes (Continue with Google / Apple / Telegram) plus the “Sign up as an entity” and Log in links. Captured 2026-09.

Identity verification (KYC) is tiered. The basic level asks for a government ID and a selfie check; higher limits can require proof of address and further questions. Which features each level unlocks depends on where you live, and the verification page in your account lists them. How long review takes varies with the documents and the queue; the verification page in your account shows the current status.

For US-domiciled readers, Binance.com is not accessible — Binance.US operates as a separate entity with a different referral structure. The up-to-20%* fee discount documented here applies to the global Binance.com platform only. If Binance.com is restricted where you live, don’t try to get around it (with a VPN, for example); that goes against Binance’s terms of use and can get the account restricted.
