The code only works during registration — step-by-step instructions in the sign-up guide.
How the fee discount works
When you create an OKX account with a partner discount code, the exchange attaches a fee rebate to the account itself. On every filled order, the rebated portion of your trading fee is returned — effectively lowering your rate.
- Applies automatically — no coupons to activate per trade
- Covers spot, perpetuals, futures, and options
- Stacks with VIP tiers — as your volume grows, the discount applies to the better rate
- Lifetime duration — bound to the account, not a promo calendar

OKX spot trading fees
Spot fees follow a maker/taker model tiered by 30-day volume and OKB holdings. Most retail traders sit in the regular-user tiers below.
| Tier | Requirement | Maker | Taker | Taker with code |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lv 1 | < 100,000 USD volume | 0.080% | 0.100% | 0.070% |
| Lv 2 | ≥ 100,000 USD volume | 0.075% | 0.090% | 0.063% |
| Lv 3 | ≥ 500,000 USD volume | 0.070% | 0.080% | 0.056% |
| Lv 4 | ≥ 2,000,000 USD volume | 0.065% | 0.070% | 0.049% |
| Lv 5 | ≥ 10,000,000 USD volume | 0.060% | 0.060% | 0.042% |

OKX futures & perpetuals fees
Derivatives fees are lower than spot because of contract leverage. Combined with the code, active futures traders see the biggest absolute savings — see the futures overview for contract mechanics.
| Tier | Maker | Taker | Maker with code | Taker with code |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lv 1 | 0.020% | 0.050% | 0.014% | 0.035% |
| Lv 2 | 0.015% | 0.045% | 0.0105% | 0.0315% |
| Lv 3 | 0.010% | 0.040% | 0.007% | 0.028% |
| Lv 4 | 0.005% | 0.035% | 0.0035% | 0.0245% |
What the discount is worth in practice
Fees compound with volume. A trader moving 50,000 USDT per month in futures pays taker fees on most fills:
| Monthly volume | Standard fees/yr | With code/yr | Saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10,000 USDT | 60 USDT | 42 USDT | 18 USDT |
| 50,000 USDT | 300 USDT | 210 USDT | 90 USDT |
| 250,000 USDT | 1,500 USDT | 1,050 USDT | 450 USDT |
| 1,000,000 USDT | 6,000 USDT | 4,200 USDT | 1,800 USDT |

Other OKX fees to know
Deposits
Crypto deposits are free. Fiat on-ramp costs depend on the payment provider and method you choose.
Withdrawals
Withdrawal fees vary by asset and network — choosing a low-cost network (e.g. an L2) can cut costs dramatically. Common questions are covered in the FAQ.
Funding rates
Perpetual positions exchange periodic funding payments between longs and shorts. This is not an exchange fee — mechanics explained in the futures beginner guide.
