KYC Identity Transfer for a Higher Rebate: Bybit, BingX and WEEX
A referral code can't be added later, but Bybit, BingX and WEEX let you move KYC from an old account to one registered with a new code — same document, higher fee rebate. Rules compared, steps and official links.
A referral code can only be entered at signup; an existing account can never add one. Most people assume a higher rebate means opening a fresh account with a different ID — but Bybit, BingX and WEEX all let you move KYC from an old account to a new one.
The method is the same everywhere: register an unverified account with the new referral code, then move the old account's identity verification to it. The new account carries the new code, so the rebate follows the new code; your ID document stays the same.
Why does a KYC transfer get you a higher rebate?
The rebate follows the referral code used at signup, not the KYC. KYC only proves you are you; the code decides how much of your fees comes back, and to whom.
So once the new account is registered with a better code, moving your KYC keeps your identity and trading permissions but changes the share of every fee that's returned. BingX support confirmed this to us: open a new account with a code that carries a fee rebate, transfer your identity, and you receive that rebate.

WEEX doesn't require KYC, so the old account still works unverified
The general steps
Register a brand-new, unverified account with the new code (ours is NOVA888; lowercase nova888 on WEEX).
Start the KYC transfer from the old account (self-serve on BingX and Bybit; via support on WEEX) and name the new account as the receiver.
The order can't be reversed: a KYC transfer moves identity only — assets, email, phone and referral code stay behind. Transfer first and register later, and the new account has no code.
On Bybit the entry is Profile → Identity Verification → Identity Transfer. The old account's KYC must be at least 24 hours old; the receiving account must be unverified; after a transfer neither can transfer again for 180 days, and withdrawals and fiat are limited on both for 24 hours.
BingX configures our code NOVA888 at a 40% auto-rebate — double a typical code — so this is where a KYC transfer pays off most visibly.
Conditions: the old account needs advanced KYC; the receiver must be unverified; no transfer while P2P orders are open or P2P ads are live; neither account can transfer again for 180 days; undistributed KYC-related rewards on the old account are forfeited. Afterwards the old account is unverified: positions are unaffected, but it can't buy spot or open new futures positions, and its withdrawal limit drops.
WEEX doesn't require KYC, so most people rebind by registering again with a phone number or email never used on WEEX — no KYC needed at all.
If the old account is verified and you want the new one verified too, contact support from the new account via the top-right of the WEEX app and follow their instructions. WEEX has no public self-serve transfer page, so support's conditions apply. See the WEEX rebind guide.
