OKX questions, answered straight
Everything readers ask us about the fee discount, registration, verification, deposits, and safety. Can't find your question? The sign-up guide and fee page go deeper on their topics.
Discount code & fees
How does the OKX fee discount code work?
When you register with a partner discount code, OKX attaches a fee rebate to your account. Part of every trading fee is automatically returned, effectively lowering your maker/taker rate across spot, futures, and options. Full rate tables are on the fee page.
Can I add the code after creating my account?
No. OKX only accepts referral codes during registration — the sign-up guide shows exactly where the field is so you don't miss it.
Is the discount permanent?
Yes. The rebate is bound to your account at registration and stays active for the account's lifetime. It is not a promo that expires.
Does it apply to futures and options too?
Yes — spot, perpetual swaps, dated futures, and options are all covered, and the rebate keeps applying as your volume moves you up VIP tiers. Contract mechanics are explained in the futures overview.
Account & verification
Do I need KYC to trade on OKX?
Yes. Identity verification with a government-issued ID is required before depositing and trading. Basic verification usually clears within minutes — the process is walked through in step 3 of the sign-up guide.
How long does verification take?
Automated checks typically finish in a few minutes. Manual reviews can take up to 24 hours. Clear photos and details that exactly match your ID prevent most delays.
Can I use OKX on mobile?
Yes — the iOS/Android app carries the full feature set including bots, earn, and the Web3 wallet, and your fee discount applies identically there.
What are the welcome rewards?
New users can unlock vouchers and bonuses worth up to 60,000 USDT by completing onboarding tasks (first deposit, first trade). Amounts scale with deposit size and campaign — overview on the home page.
Deposits, withdrawals & safety
Are deposits free?
Crypto deposits are free — you only pay the sending network's transaction fee. Fiat purchases cost whatever the chosen payment provider charges.
How much are withdrawal fees?
They vary by asset and network. The same coin is often withdrawable over several networks — picking an L2 or low-cost chain can cut the fee by 10x or more. Other fee types are summarised on the fee page.
Is OKX safe to use?
OKX publishes monthly Proof of Reserves, keeps most funds in cold storage, and offers 2FA, anti-phishing codes, and withdrawal allowlists. We dig into all of it — including what to enable on day one — in the OKX safety review.
Is this website operated by OKX?
No. This is an independent informational site that documents fees, sign-up steps, and comparisons, and shares a partner discount code. More about how we work on the about page.
