Introduction to Bybit Card

The Bybit card is a payment card from the Bybit exchange that allows payments abroad and online. It offers high cashback (2-10% monthly) and can be issued for free. It works with Apple Pay and Google Pay, converting USDT to local currency with a 0.9% payment fee and 2% conversion fee.

Problem: Sanctions

In Russia, it is impossible to order the card directly due to sanctions. The creator claims to have found a workaround that takes about five minutes.

[00:58]

Registration Path

The process starts with Bybit KYC1 and KYC2 verification. For Russian users, this is necessary to be able to fund the card later.

[01:16]

Filling the Card Application Form

For CIS residents, use the form link in the description. For Russians, use a VPN (the creator hints at a program 'which is forbidden to mention') to show an IP address from Kazakhstan. Then enter any random Kazakh address from Google Maps and income details (e.g., self-employed, $1000/month).

[01:42]

SMS Verification

The next step requires confirming a code from SMS. Russian phone numbers do not work. Use a virtual number service like SMS Activate to rent a Kazakh number. Link it to the Bybit account, receive the SMS, and enter the code.

[02:07]

Bonus Code and Time Limit

The creator mentions a bonus code displayed on screen. All steps must be completed within 20 minutes, otherwise the virtual number expires. The process typically takes 2-3 minutes.

[02:29]

Virtual Card Ready

After verification, the virtual card is ready for use.

[02:41]

Sponsor Segment: ProxyLine

A brief sponsor read for ProxyLine, a proxy service that helps change IP addresses for security. They offer many geos, cheap prices, and 24/7 support.

[02:53]

Funding the Card

The card balance is linked to the Bybit account. To fund it, top up the funding account with crypto or buy crypto with rubles. The creator recommends using Whitebird, a Belarusian online exchanger, due to 'dirty' P2P options. Buy crypto with rubles and send to the Bybit address.

[03:19]

Card Privileges and Limits

The card offers cashback of 2-10% monthly, and there are bonuses on the balance. Limits are better than bank cards (details on screen).

[03:38]

Physical Card Ordering

For non-Russian residents, a physical plastic card can be ordered from the Bybit cards page to the home address.

[03:52]

Apple Pay and Google Pay

Kazakhstan-region cards cannot be added to Apple Pay yet, but can be added to Google Pay. European-region cards can be added to Apple Pay but require special documents (e.g., NG, PMG).

[04:05]

Usage and Conclusion

The card can be used to pay for services like Steam, ChatGPT, and Spotify without issues. The creator asks for likes, subscriptions, and comments.

The video provides a practical, albeit sanction-bypassing, method for Russian and CIS residents to obtain and use a Bybit card, emphasizing speed and low fees. It also highlights the card's benefits like cashback and global usability.
