How Bybit Card Transactions Work

Bybit Card enables secure payments using both fiat currency and cryptocurrency. If your fiat balance is insufficient, the system automatically converts your chosen crypto asset to cover the remaining amount. Transactions are declined if neither fiat nor crypto balances meet the minimum requirement.

Key Notes:
– Minimum conversion thresholds: 1 EUR/USD, 5,000 ARS, or 10 BRL.
– Transaction amounts are temporarily frozen in your Funding Account until the merchant finalizes the payment (may take up to 30 days).
– Reversed authorizations release frozen funds back to your available balance.
