What is KYC?

KYC (Know Your Customer) guidelines for financial services require that professionals make an effort to verify the identity, suitability and risks involved, in order to minimize the risk to the respective account.

Why is KYC required?

KYC is necessary to improve security compliance for all traders. Bybit uses KYC to identify customers and analyze their risk profiles. This verification helps stop money laundering and financing of illicit activities.

How to Submit a Request for Business KYC Verification?

To proceed with the Business KYC verification, please kindly submit all the required documents via our secured portal - Business KYC Verification by clicking the “Verify Now” button.

 

 

Below are the required documents to proceed with the verification.

Can I have both Individual and Business KYC verified at the same time on a single account?

No. You can only verify one type of KYC per account. If you would like to verify for Business KYC, we will remove your Individual KYC status after approval. If you need an Individual KYC-verified account for more trading products and service usage, you may register another Bybit account and attempt to complete Individual KYC verification again.

How should I contact customer support if I have questions that need to be clarified before submitting the documents?

You may write to us at compliance@bybit.com and we will assist with your inquiry as soon as possible. Alternatively, you may also reach out to our 24/7 live chat support.

Note: Business KYC applications can only be submitted via our Business KYC Portal. We will not process the documents submitted via email. If you do not have a Bybit account, you need to register a new account and submit the documents via the portal.

How will the company and individual information submitted be used?

The information you submit will be used to verify the identity of the company and individual(s). We will keep company and individual documents confidential.
