Bybit Card allows you to make secure payments with both fiat and crypto. If the existing fiat is not enough to complete the transaction, then the crypto of your choice will be converted to fiat to cover the remaining balance. If both fiat and crypto are insufficient, the transaction will be declined. Please note that there is a minimum crypto conversion of 1 USD, 5,000 ARS or 10 BRL.


Once your Bybit Card transactions have been authorized, the transaction amount in your Funding Account will be frozen and only deducted once the merchant completes the transaction. Please note that it will take up to 30 days. In the event of reversed authorization, you don't need to worry — the frozen fiat amount will be released back into your Funding Account as an available balance.

Scenario 1

Sufficient fiat for payment: The amount that the user needs to pay for the product is 500 USD. 500 USD will be deducted from the user's Funding account.




Scenario 2

Insufficient fiat, but sufficient crypto for payment: The product costs 1,030 USD. All 1,000 USD in the Funding account will be used and the remaining 30 USD will be paid with USDT in the Funding account. The conversion rate of the USDT to USD is based on the One-Click Sell Rate plus a Bybit Card crypto conversion fee.




Scenario 3

Foreign exchange transaction: The product costs 1,260 EUR. Since it is a foreign exchange transaction, the funds will be deducted according to the foreign exchange rate of Mastercard plus a Bybit Card foreign exchange fee.


Assuming the exchange rate of 1.05 EUR/USD at the time of purchase, 1,260 EUR is equivalent to 1,323 (1,260 * 1.05) USD. All 1,000 USD in the Funding Account will be deducted and the foreign exchange fee will be charged. The remaining 323 USD will be paid in USDT in the user’s Funding Account based on the One-Click Sell Rate plus a Bybit Card crypto conversion fee.




Scenario 4

Available fiat currency is different from the Bybit Card base currency. The product costs 20 USD. While the user has a 50 EUR fiat balance in his Funding Account, it cannot be used for the card transaction as the base currency is in USD. The transaction amount of 20 USD will be paid by USDT in the Funding Account since there is insufficient USD in the Funding Account. The conversion rate of the USDT to USD is based on the One-Click Sell Rate plus a Bybit Card crypto conversion fee.




Scenario 5

The selected payment crypto asset is different from the available balance: The transaction will be declined if the user has not selected XRP as one of his payment crypto while he only has 1,000 XRP available in his Funding Account. The user can change his Payment Crypto Assets to XRP for the transaction by following this guide.
