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.

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

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.
