How to Deposit Funds on Bybit
Bybit supports four main deposit methods: crypto transfers, P2P trading, Quick Buy, and fiat deposits.
Method 1: Crypto Transfer Deposit
This is one of the most common ways to fund your account. If you hold crypto on another exchange (like Binance or MAX) or in a wallet (like MetaMask), you can transfer it to Bybit.
- Log in to your Bybit account and click Assets > Deposit.
- Select the cryptocurrency you want to deposit.
- Choose the network (e.g., ERC20, TRC20). Ensure the sending platform supports the same network.
- Copy your unique deposit address.
- Paste this address into the withdrawal field on the sending platform. Double-check the network and address to avoid irreversible losses.
- Confirm the transaction. Funds will appear after blockchain confirmations.
This method usually has no deposit fee, but the sending platform may charge a network fee.
Method 2: P2P Trading
P2P trading connects you directly with other users. Bybit doesn't charge fees but facilitates the trade as an escrow.
- Go to Buy Crypto > P2P Trading.
- Browse listings for your desired currency and payment method. Filter by rate, merchant reputation, and transaction limits.
- Select an offer and click Buy.
- Review the merchant’s terms, which may require providing KYC details.

If issues arise, you can contact Bybit support for assistance.

Quick Buy allows you to purchase crypto directly with a credit or debit card.

- Choose your card payment option (Visa/Mastercard).
- Enter your card details and billing information.
- Review the order summary, including the total cost with fees (typically 5–6%).
- Confirm the purchase.
While convenient, this method is expensive and not ideal for large deposits due to high fees.
Method 4: Fiat Deposit
Bybit supports fiat deposits for certain currencies (not including TWD). USD is the most common.
- Go to Assets > Deposit > Fiat.
- Select your currency (e.g., USD) and payment method (e.g., Advcash; note: SWIFT is currently suspended).
