What are the differences between a unified trading account and a classic account?

The Bitget unified trading account eliminates the hassle of managing multiple accounts. All trading—whether spot, margin, USDT-M perpetual futures or USDC-M perpetual futures—occurs seamlessly within a single account, removing the need to transfer funds between accounts for different products. The unified approach simplifies your asset management system, allowing you to focus on trading strategies rather than managing account trivialities.

Unlike the classic account, which requires specific assets for specific trading activities, the unified trading account lets traders use various supported margin assets, converting them to USD for trading. This feature eliminates the need to hold the exact settlement coin for a product, enhancing capital efficiency and providing greater flexibility in trading. Click here for more details.

Will the upgrade affect my account level and perks?

No.

1. Your VIP level remains unchanged.

2. The rebate system remains unchanged.

3. Vouchers cannot be used in the unified trading account. You will have to switch back to the classic account to use them.

Borrowing and repayment in the unified trading account

Automatic borrowing is supported in the unified trading account and will be triggered under specific scenarios, such as insufficient balance, position losses, or margin trading. Interest will be charged on an hourly basis, with support for automatic and manual repayment. Click here for more details.

Account upgrade and switch-back

1. Main account: You can upgrade to the unified trading account or switch back to the classic account.

2. Sub-accounts: You can upgrade to the unified trading account but will not be able to switch back to the classic account.

3. The upgrade of a single account does not affect the status of other accounts. That is to say, upgrading your main account does not upgrade your sub-accounts. Similarly, upgrading a sub-account does not upgrade your main account.
