Understanding Bank Account Requirements on Bybit
When engaging in cryptocurrency transactions on Bybit, your bank account details must align with platform policies to ensure smooth operations and asset security. Below are critical guidelines distilled from Bybit's help center articles:
Key Rules for Bank Account Usage
Name Consistency
The name on your bank account must match your Bybit registered name exactly. Discrepancies may lead to:
- Account suspension
- Permanent asset loss (sellers can refuse transactions)
- Example: If registered as "John Doe," bank transfers must show the same name.
Account Verification
- Mismatched names during Identity Verification will block deposits/withdrawals.
- Supported documents include government-issued IDs (passport, driver’s license).
Transaction Processing
- Withdrawal times vary by currency and method (check Bybit’s Fiat Withdrawal page for estimates).
- Test transfers are prohibited—two attempts disqualify advertisers.
