Binance's sub-account feature is unknown to many users, but it's extremely useful for those who need to manage multiple strategies or collaborate as a team.
Log into your main account through the Binance official site to manage sub-accounts. You can also download the APK for mobile access.
What Is a Sub-Account?
A sub-account is an independent trading account that operates under your main account. Each sub-account has its own assets, trading records, and API keys, but the main account maintains unified management and control.
Think of the main account as "headquarters" and sub-accounts as "branch offices" — each operates independently while headquarters retains ultimate authority.
Use Cases for Sub-Accounts
Use case one: Strategy isolation. Different trading strategies run in separate sub-accounts, making it easy to track the profit and loss of each strategy independently.
Use case two: Risk isolation. Assets between sub-accounts are independent — one sub-account getting liquidated won't affect the funds in others.
Use case three: Team management. If you have multiple traders operating on your behalf, you can assign each one a sub-account with different permission settings for easy monitoring and management.
Use case four: API trading separation. Different quantitative strategies can use different sub-account APIs, reducing the risk of losing all assets due to a single API key leak.
Activation Requirements
Sub-account functionality isn't available to all users — you need to meet certain criteria:
- Completed identity verification (KYC)
- Account in good standing with no violations
- Typically requires reaching a certain VIP level or asset threshold
Specific requirements may change, so check your account settings to see if the sub-account option is available.
How to Activate and Use
Step one: Log into the Binance web version and go to the account management page.
Step two: Find the "Sub-Account" option in the left menu. If you don't see this option, your account doesn't yet meet the activation requirements.
Step three: Click "Create Sub-Account" and set up the sub-account's email and password.
Step four: After creation, transfer funds from your main account to the sub-account.
Step five: Set permissions for the sub-account, including trading permissions, withdrawal permissions, etc.
Important Notes
Sub-accounts share KYC information with the main account — no need for separate verification.
The main account can view all sub-accounts' assets and trading activity at any time.
Fund transfers between sub-accounts are instant and free.
Sub-accounts can share the main account's VIP level — check the official documentation for specific rules.
Once your trading scale reaches a certain level, sub-accounts become a very useful management tool worth taking the time to learn and use.
