My account on bybit is temporarily restricted for withdrawal and fiat transactions. I’ve been asked to submit some documents such as 3 months bank statement of source income with IBAN number , copy of my credit card with 3 months bank statement, my civil ID, hand written document that I have been made transactions by myself… As well, to prove my identity I’ve been asked to take a photo of myself together with my civil ID or passport and upload it for identity verification.
How safe is it to upload documents? Is that a regular policy to verify ID and source of my income?
I have to mention that I’ve been logged in from different IP address.
Hey there,
Thanks for your message. I understand that submitting sensitive documents can be worrying. Generally speaking, identity verification and source of income validation are standard procedures implemented by many financial and cryptocurrency platforms. These measures are in place to comply with international regulations, including Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) policies.
However, in case of Bybit, it’s a rather difficult question. The reason is that we checked and Bybit is not regulated by any top-tier financial regulator, so we usually tell people that they are better off avoiding it.
In addition, uploading a copy of your credit card and a handwritten document stating that you have been making transactions yourself seems out of place and is a serious red flag. This is because legitimate platforms typically do not require such sensitive information, which could be easily exploited for fraudulent activities. Moreover, the handwritten statement might be an attempt to shift liability onto you, should any issues arise.
Given these concerns, I would be very cautious and choose not to upload my documents. It’s essential to prioritize your security and consider using platforms with robust regulatory oversight.
Best regards,
Andris
