General FAQ

What is Travel Rule?

The Travel Rule requires virtual asset service providers (VASPs) like banks, exchanges, custodial solutions, and financial service providers to identify and share the origins and destinations of crypto transactions. 

What is VASP?

VASP stands for Virtual Asset Service Provider. It refers to any business or entity that conducts activities related to virtual assets, such as exchange services, transfer services, custodial services, or any other financial services.

What are Virtual Asset (VAs)?

Financial Action Task Force (FATF) defines Virtual Assets (VAs) as digitally represented value that can be traded, transferred, or used for payment or investment purposes but does not have a physical form, including cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, utility tokens, security token,s or non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Why do we need Travel Rule?

The Travel Rule is needed to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes in the crypto space. It ensures that Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) share specific transaction details when transferring virtual assets.

Will Bybit Kazakhstan implement Travel Rule?

Yes, we will collect certain information about your crypto deposit and withdrawals. This will affect individual and business customers when conducting transactions to and from the VASP (other cryptocurrency exchange) or personal wallet (such as Metamask or any other decentralized wallet provider). 

How would it affect me as a Bybit Kazakhstan customer?

Bybit Kazakhstan will require you to provide the following information for crypto deposit and withdrawal:

 

 

Note: 

• To check if any further action is required for the crypto deposit and withdrawal, please go to the Deposit or Withdrawal History. 

Do I need to do wallet address verification for all deposits and withdrawals?

It depends on the transaction you made, according to the details below. 

 

a. Crypto Deposit

For deposits from other VASPs, Bybit Kazakhstan normally does not require wallet address verification from users, and the deposit will be credited to your Funding Account after the system confirms that the information between Bybit Kazakhstan and counterparty VASP (sender’s platform) can be matched. However, please note that under special circumstances, you may be required to fill up a declaration form. 

 

In the meantime, for deposits from the personal wallet, you will need to complete both the wallet ownership verification and declaration form by opening the verification link on the Deposit History page. 

 

If the deposit is from another person’s wallet, you can copy the verification link and send it to the sender to prove the address. 

 

Once the verification is done, the deposit will be credited to your Funding Account.

 

b. Crypto Withdrawal

You must provide the name and ID of the beneficiary party and whether the transfer is going to a VASP or private wallet.

 

 

For withdrawal to VASP, no further verification is required and your withdrawal will be processed if the information submitted can be matched with the recipient exchange. Nevertheless, you may still be required to complete the declaration form. Please refer to the withdrawal guide on How to complete wallet address verification for Deposit and Withdrawal. 

For a personal wallet, you will need to further complete the address verification from the withdrawal history page to prove your wallet ownership, as well as the declaration form. 

 

When do I need to do wallet address verification?

You will need to do the wallet ownership verification for both deposit and withdrawal from the respective transaction history if the sender or recipient address belongs to a personal wallet.

What should I do if my deposit and withdrawal are from or to another person’s wallet?

If the deposit and withdrawal are from or to another person’s wallet, you can copy the verification link from your deposit or withdrawal history, and send it to another person to complete the verification.

Do I need to do verification for the same address for deposit and withdrawal?

No, you only need to verify an address once.

I have submitted a withdrawal request to VASP, but it says “No Match Found Yet”?

This can happen when the withdrawal destination has not found a match for the recipient information input. You can still submit your withdrawal request, and the withdrawal will be processed once we receive a response from the recipient exchange. You can cancel your withdrawal at any time during the process. 

 

Can I cancel my withdrawal?

Yes, you can cancel your withdrawal as long as you have not done the verification. If the Cancel button is grayed out, you can no longer cancel your withdrawal request. 

Why does it show “Information Match Failed” for my withdrawal?

This is because the recipient information you provided does not match the details from the recipient's destination. Please ensure you fill in the correct information to submit your withdrawal request. 

 

Does any amount of deposits and withdrawals require verification?

Yes, any deposit and withdrawal amount is subject to verification. 

What would happen if my verification failed?

For deposits, please contact our customer support for further assistance. For withdrawal, the funds will be refunded to your Funding Account. 

Will this information be shared with third parties?

The information will only be shared with other regulated VASP involved in the transaction, as legally required, and will be treated with the utmost confidentiality. Bybit Kazakhstan takes stringent security measures to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing customer data.
