How to dispute a transaction?
If your transaction has already been completed, we recommend that you contact the merchant directly to communicate or request a refund.
Can I pay for products and services in foreign currencies?
Yes, you can pay for products and services in foreign currencies. We will convert the transaction amount into the denominated currency using the MasterCard foreign exchange rate on the day they process the transaction. Please refer to the Fees and Limits (Bybit Card) for information on the foreign exchange fee.
Note: You may notice the amount authorized is slightly higher from the actual transaction amount. This is due to a padding applied when freezing your funds for authorization to accommodate changes in the exchange rate when the merchant completes the transaction. Any excess amount not deducted by the merchant will be unfrozen. Please refer to the Fees and Limits (Bybit Card) for the padding fee.
What is the Total Markup over ECB Reference Rate?
The Total Markup over ECB Reference Rate reflects the difference between what you pay for your Bybit Card transaction using Mastercard foreign exchange rates and fees, and what you would pay if the transaction was undertaken at the European Central Bank Reference Rate.
Why does my Funding Account have a negative balance?
There are several common reasons that may cause a negative balance in your Funding Account:
-
The foreign exchange rate at the time of settlement is higher than the estimated rate during authorization, and there are insufficient funds to cover the difference
-
The final transaction amount charged by the merchant is higher than the authorized amount, and there are insufficient funds to make up the difference
When you have a negative balance in your Funding Account, your Bybit Card will be suspended and withdrawals from your Bybit account will be restricted. In order to lift the restrictions, please deposit or transfer funds to your Funding Account to cover the negative balance.
If you have further questions, please submit your inquiry via the webform and select My Bybit card is suspended as the inquiry option.
Why is my Bybit Card transaction stuck at the authorization stage for days?
The authorisation is currently waiting for the merchant’s capture and it may take up to 30 days for your payment to be processed. Your funds will remain frozen during this period. You may contact the merchant for more information.
Why is my Bybit Card refund not credited to my account yet?
In certain cases, additional information may be required before processing your refund. Please check your email for instructions or visit the Flagged Fiat Transactions page for details. Upon submission, your refunds will be reviewed and credited to your Funding account within 2 working days.
Why are my funds frozen for 24 hours?
To protect the security of your funds, any direct deposits to the Bybit card will be frozen for 24 hours. You can check the details on the My Locked Asset page.
Why is my card frozen after receiving the alert “Your virtual/physical card (****) has been temporarily frozen due to a suspicious transaction”?
