*How to open a Bybit account using the mobile app

You can also open an account from the Bybit app. However, it may take a little extra effort for users in Japan to download the new Bybit app. Let’s also check the download procedure for the Bybit app.

1. Download the Bybit app

Japanese users can no longer search for the “Bybit” app on Google Play or the App Store. However, Android and iPhone users can install the Bybit app on their smartphones by following the methods below.

[For Android users]

Since the Bybit app is not listed on Google Play, download the “APK version” of the app from the official site.

The “APK (Android Package Kit)” has not gone through Google’s review, but it can be used like a regular app and supports updates. Please follow the steps below for download and installation.

① Access the Bybit official site

Open the Bybit official site in your Android smartphone’s browser, tap the “Menu (three lines)” at the top right of the screen. Then scroll down the menu and select “App”.

② Download the APK version of the app

On the displayed screen, tap “APK” located under the “Google Play” button. The download will start automatically. If a warning message appears, select “Continue downloading” or “Allow”.

③ Install the app

Once the download is complete, “bybit.apk” will be saved on your smartphone. Open the “Downloads” folder on your smartphone and tap “bybit.apk”. Finally, tap “Install” on the installation confirmation screen to complete the installation of the Bybit app.

※ Depending on your security settings, you may need to allow “installation of apps from unknown sources”. If this appears in the settings screen, please allow it.

[For iPhone users]

‍

There are mainly two ways to use the Bybit app on iPhone.

However, Method 1: Change region is not recommended due to risks such as subscription cancellation or loss of Apple Pay balance.

Therefore, I will explain the steps for Method 2: Create a new Apple ID.

① Create a new Apple ID

Create a new Apple ID on Apple’s official site.

▶ https://account.apple.com/

Enter the following information.

• Country/Region: Philippines
• Name: Romanized
• Email address: New email
• Phone number: Japanese number (country code +81, omit the leading 0)
• Enter the verification code received via email/SMS to complete ID creation

② Log in to the App Store with the new ID

Open the App Store on your iPhone and sign out once. Then, sign in with the new Apple ID created in step ①.

③ Download the app

You will be able to download “Bybit” from the App Store.

Once the app is installed, you can switch back to your usual Japanese Apple ID. However, you will need to log in again with the Philippine ID during app updates.

2. Enter the required information

Once the Bybit app is successfully installed, tap “Register” on the first screen that appears when you launch the app. Then, set your email address and password, and tap “Register”.

The referral code 88811 is an opportunity to receive benefits, so be sure to enter it.

• Benefit: Receive a welcome bonus of up to $30,050.

3. Security and email verification

A verification code will be sent to the email address you entered in “2.”. Enter it in the app to complete the account creation.

Additionally, you can create an account using your phone number just like the browser version.

Let’s complete identity verification/KYC! (Refer to step 6 for the procedure!)

Once your account is created, complete the identity verification/KYC. Bybit imposes functional restrictions on accounts that have not completed KYC, making it essentially mandatory. The table above lists the Bybit features that will be unlocked by completing KYC.

KYC (Know Your Customer) is a procedure for cryptocurrency exchanges to verify the identity of users. Bybit uses KYC to help prevent money laundering and the flow of illicit funds.

The KYC process involves submitting an ID and taking a selfie. If the submitted ID and selfie are acceptable, it will be completed immediately. IDs that can be used for Bybit’s KYC include driver’s licenses, passports, and My Number cards. First, I will explain the KYC process for the browser version, followed by the mobile app version.

‍

Step 5: Set up two-factor authentication (2FA) – Optional

2FA is optional, but it is recommended to set it up for additional security. You can use apps like Google Authenticator or SMS authentication.

1. Click the icon at the top right of the page
2. Select “Account and Security”

1. Select Google two-factor authentication in the “Advanced Protection” section

1. Click “Settings”, verify the authentication code via email, then scan the QR code and enter the code displayed in the Google Authenticator app. This will enable Google two-factor authentication for login, withdrawals, password resets, security setting changes, and API management confirmations.

Step 6: KYC verification (optional)

Basic trading does not require KYC verification, but if you plan to make large withdrawals, identification may be necessary. KYC verification is required to receive the welcome bonus. Please follow the steps below.

1. Click the profile icon at the top right of the screen
2. Click the “Verify Now” button

1. Select your country (if not automatically selected)

1. Proceed with Bybit’s simple verification process (a mobile phone is required). You will receive a confirmation of your verification status via email shortly. If the verification is successful, a “Verified” badge will appear on your profile icon.

‍

How to complete KYC on the mobile app

Launch the Bybit app and tap the settings icon at the top right. Then select “Identity Verification (KYC)” and tap “Verify”.

Proceed to the screen where you select your ID. Ensure that the issuing country is Japan and select any ID. Then, read the precautions for taking the ID photo carefully and tap “Continue”.

Be careful of shadows and camera shake, and take a clear photo of your ID.

Just like the browser version, take a selfie at the end, and the KYC process will be complete.

Step 7: Deposit funds

How to deposit to Bybit? Four main methods

Once you have completed KYC, let’s try depositing to Bybit. To trade cryptocurrencies or use staking and other services on Bybit, you first need to deposit funds. Here, based on the latest official information, we will organize and explain four representative methods to deposit to Bybit.

Depositing cryptocurrencies

This is how to deposit cryptocurrencies from other wallets or exchanges (e.g., MetaMask or GMO Coin) to Bybit. The deposit history is recorded on the blockchain and is public. This is likely the most commonly used deposit method among Japanese users.

Follow the steps below to carry out the deposit operation. Be particularly careful not to make mistakes in selecting the network (chain). Additionally, some cryptocurrencies like XRP and XLM require additional information such as tags or memos, so it is important to carefully check the transfer form.

1. Open the assets/deposit page on the Bybit app or web version
2. Select the currency you want to deposit (e.g., BTC, ETH, etc.)
3. Select the corresponding blockchain (e.g., ERC20, TRC20, etc.)
4. Copy the displayed address and send from the source exchange or wallet

[Advantages]

• Relatively low cost (depending on the chain)
• Possible without KYC (but with restrictions)

[Disadvantages]

• Risk of losing funds due to mistakes in chain selection or failure to fill in memos/tags
• Some cryptocurrencies may take time to complete the transfer

One-click purchase

This is a method to directly purchase cryptocurrencies with fiat currency using debit cards, credit cards, Google Pay, or Apple Pay.

Follow the steps below to carry out the deposit operation. Since it is a card payment, the process is simple, but fees can be higher. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid this method unless you are in a hurry.

1. Select “Purchase Cryptocurrency” on the official site/app
2. Select “One-click purchase”
3. Select payment method (credit/debit card, Google Pay, etc.)
4. Specify the amount and currency, and make the purchase

[Advantages]

• Can be purchased instantly in as little as 5 minutes
• User interface is simple and easy to understand

[Disadvantages]

• Exchange fees and spreads can be somewhat high
• Some cards may not be accepted for payment

Depositing fiat currency

This is a method to deposit fiat currency, but it does not support deposits in Japanese yen. Furthermore, providing direct deposit services in Japanese yen may fall under “cryptocurrency exchange business” or “money transfer business” regulations in Japan. Therefore, it is considered highly unlikely that direct deposits in Japanese yen will be possible on Bybit in the future.

P2P trading

This is a method to buy and sell cryptocurrencies between individuals. Bybit acts as an intermediary and provides protection for funds in case of fraud.

Follow the steps below for the operation. Once you get used to it, you can obtain your desired cryptocurrency at a low cost. However, be cautious as there are users listing for fraudulent purposes.

1. Go to the P2P trading page from “Purchase Cryptocurrency”
2. Select ads based on currency, payment method, amount, etc.
3. Follow the instructions to complete the transaction (e.g., pay via bank transfer)

[Advantages]

• Rich payment methods that are easy to use in Japan, such as bank transfers and PayPay
• No fees and flexible rates

[Disadvantages]

• Risk of fraud or trouble (some protection provided by Bybit as an intermediary)
• May require chatting with the seller

Step 8: Start trading

Once funds are deposited into your account, you can start trading! Explore the platform and learn about various order types and tools.

FAQ: Solutions for issues with opening an account or registering on Bybit

There may be troubles such as “unable to register” or “authentication fails” when opening an account on Bybit. Here, we will clearly explain common causes and their solutions.

The region you are accessing is a prohibited area

Due to regulations, Bybit prohibits access from certain countries (such as the United States). Even if you are using a VPN to access, there is a possibility that the originating IP will be detected and blocked. Even from Japan, using a VPN can sometimes be misidentified as a “prohibited area,” so it is generally better to proceed with account registration with the VPN turned off.

The registered email address is invalid or incorrect

To complete account creation on Bybit, you must receive and confirm the verification email sent during registration. Possible reasons for not receiving the verification email include input errors, temporary email server issues, or being sorted into the spam folder. Try adjusting the timing, rechecking the email address, and checking your email folders.

An existing Bybit account is present

The principle is “one account per person” for Bybit accounts. If you have registered in the past, you cannot open a new account. The same applies if you have an inactive account that has not been used for a long time. In this case, reset the password and reuse the existing account.

Frequently asked questions about opening and registering an account on Bybit
