How to deposit money on Bybit? A Bybit fiat and crypto deposit guide.

How to Deposit Fiat Currency on Bybit

1. Log in to your Bybit account and navigate to the 'Assets' section located at the top of the dashboard. Select 'Deposit' from the dropdown menu.

2. Choose 'Fiat' as the deposit type. A list of supported fiat currencies will appear, including USD, EUR, GBP, and others depending on your region.

3. Select your preferred currency and payment method. Bybit supports multiple channels such as bank transfer, credit/debit card, and third-party payment processors like Mercuryo or Simplex.

Using Crypto for Deposits on Bybit

1. From the 'Assets' tab, click 'Deposit' and switch to the 'Crypto' option. A comprehensive list of supported cryptocurrencies will be displayed, including BTC, ETH, USDT, and more.

2. Select the cryptocurrency you intend to deposit. Each coin has its own unique deposit address and network options such as ERC-20, BEP-20, or Polygon.

3. Copy the provided wallet address carefully or scan the QR code using your external wallet. Always double-check the network compatibility—sending tokens via the wrong blockchain can result in permanent loss of funds.

4. Initiate the transfer from your external wallet. Confirm the transaction and wait for network confirmations. Deposit processing time varies based on blockchain congestion and confirmation requirements.

5. Once confirmed, the balance will reflect in your Bybit wallet. You can view the transaction history under the 'Transaction Records' section.

Understanding Deposit Fees and Processing Times

1. Fiat deposits via credit card typically incur a processing fee between 1% and 3.5%, depending on the provider. Bank transfers may have lower or no fees but take longer to settle.

2. Cryptocurrency deposits are generally free on Bybit’s end, though network gas fees apply and are paid to miners or validators of the respective blockchain.

3. Processing times for fiat vary: card payments are instant, while bank transfers may take 1–5 business days. Crypto deposits depend on network speed—Bitcoin may require 2–6 confirmations, Ethereum usually needs one.

Security Practices During Deposit Process

1. Always access Bybit through the official website or app. Phishing sites often mimic deposit pages to steal credentials or redirect funds.

2. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) using an authenticator app, not SMS, to protect your account during financial transactions.

3. Use withdrawal whitelist features to restrict fund movements to pre-approved addresses, adding a layer of protection even if your account is compromised.

4. Never share your API keys or recovery phrases when depositing. Bybit will never ask for these details during deposit procedures.
