Bybit account unfreeze — KYC, KYB and limit restoration
Bybit has been expanding compliance after securing licences in the UAE and EU. Most blocks relate to KYC/KYB discrepancies or shifts in trading profile. They resolve through a standardised document pack.
Free diagnosticTypical Bybit situations
- Repeat KYC. Following a policy update or a complaint — proof of residence, source of income, video verification.
- KYB after UBO change. Corporate account is frozen until an updated corporate pack and proof of ownership structure are submitted.
- Derivatives restrictions. After a jurisdiction change or restricted-region match — futures and options disabled.
- Withdrawal hold. After anomalous activity or a suspected compromise — withdrawal frozen for 72+ hours.
- Institutional flag. At high volumes — Institutional KYB and proof of capital source required.
What we do
- Diagnostic and strategy (1–2 days). Review Bybit Compliance correspondence, block type, account history. Decision: resubmit KYC, move to KYB, or escalate.
- Document assembly (3–6 days). For KYC — standard pack; for KYB — apostilled corporate documents, UBO declaration, proof of operating substance.
- Submission and follow-up. Structured filing with a compliance-officer index, clearing follow-up rounds.
- Function restoration. Gradual lift of restrictions, a control transaction, then full limit and derivatives restoration where required.
Cost and timing
Base retainer from $400. Success fee 10–15% on recoveries above $20,000. Typical timeline — 10–25 days for KYC, 14–30 days for KYB. Exact estimate after a free 30-minute diagnostic.

Preventive note
If a UBO, director or ownership-structure change is planned — update KYB on Bybit proactively, before compliance spots the discrepancy. The reactive path is always more expensive.
