Guide to Bitget Sub-Accounts

Bitget is a leading global cryptocurrency trading platform that offers a wide range of trading tools and account management features. One key feature is the sub-account system, which enables flexible asset management and segregated trading. This guide walks you through how to create sub-accounts, including general, virtual, and custodial trading sub-accounts, and how to transfer funds between them.

What is a sub-account?

A sub-account is a standalone account linked to your Bitget main account. It is designed to isolate positions, assets, and access permissions. Sub-accounts let you manage different trading strategies, portfolios, or team responsibilities more efficiently, making them ideal for individual traders, institutions, and anyone needing to manage funds separately. Bitget provides three sub-account types: general, virtual, and custodial trading, each suited for different scenarios.

Learn more about sub-accounts on the Bitget website or in the Help Center.

Sub-account types

1. General sub-account

A standalone account with its own login credentials, including a unique email address and password. It operates independently from the main account.

2. Virtual sub-account

Accessible directly from the main account without requiring a separate email or password. Ideal for short-term trading strategies.

3. Custodial trading sub-account

Designed for delegating fund management to professional trading teams.

Notes

● Security: Bitget safeguards your assets through account-level segregation. Sub-account funds are stored separately from those in the main account, ensuring your assets remain secure even in unexpected situations.

● Permission control: We recommend assigning trading and withdrawal permissions to sub-accounts strictly based on operational needs to minimize risk.

● Identity verification (KYC): Some sub-account features may require identity verification. Refer to the Bitget identity verification guide for more details.
