When using BNB to pay margin trading fees:

  • VIP users can enjoy the 25% discount on fees on top of their existing VIP discount. For more detailed information, please refer here.
  • For Cross Margin, you must maintain an adequate BNB balance in your Cross Margin account. If your BNB holding is insufficient, the discount cannot be applied.
  • For Isolated Margin, standard trading fees are first charged on your Isolated Margin account. Subsequently, discounted trading fees will be charged on the BNB in your Spot account and the initial fees paid will be refunded to your Isolated Margin account within the next 48 hours. For the discount to apply, you must maintain an adequate BNB balance in your Spot account.

When using BNB to pay for Cross Margin interest:

  • If you have borrowed multiple tokens on Cross Margin, this function will apply to all tokens.
  • If you use BNB to pay for interest on funds you borrowed for Cross Margin trading, all interest will be calculated and accrued in BNB no matter how much BNB balance you have in your Cross Margin account.
  • The interest calculated before enabling this function will not be included.

When using [Auto deducting BNB] function to pay for Cross Margin interest:

  • If you enabled both [Using BNB For Interest] and [Auto deducting BNB], the system will automatically use your available BNB in spot wallet to pay the interest once a day.
  • The available balance of the spot account will be used first. If the balance is insufficient, the available balance of the cross margin account will be used.
