Bybit now provides self-service appeal support for users who have received refunds from another exchange platform and wish to credit the refunded amount into their Bybit Funding Account.
Before jumping into the process of appealing for a refund, it's crucial to understand the nature of your situation. A withdrawal refund normally happens when traders make a withdrawal from Bybit to another exchange, but another exchange rejects the deposit and refunds the amount back to Bybit due to several reasons such as an invalid tag deposit, or the coin deposited is not supported, and more.
If your withdrawal status on Bybit shows Successfully Transferred but you haven’t received it on the recipient exchange, you can provide the withdrawal TXID to the Customer Support team of that exchange. The withdrawal TXID details can be found on your Funding Account History → Withdraw.
Once you have confirmed that the recipient exchange has refunded the deposit to Bybit, obtain all the refund details from the corresponding exchange platform. You can then refer to the following guidelines to submit a self-service appeal for your crypto deposit on Bybit.
How to Submit an Appeal for Refund
Step 1: Hover to the upper left corner to look for Help Center → Select Crypto Deposit not credited, and you will be redirected to the Self-Service page.
If you are using the Bybit App, please tap on More on the homepage and tap on Help Center.
