Bybit has launched a self-service account deactivation feature, which allows users to deactivate their accounts on their own via the Account & Security page instead of sending account deactivation requests to Bybit customer support.
Reminder:
— You will not be able to log in to your Bybit account once you have confirmed account deactivation.
— The registered email address or mobile number you’ve used for this account cannot be used to create another Bybit account.
— If your account has been KYC verified, you will not be able to verify another Bybit account using the same ID documents and legal name.
— All Subaccounts under your Main Account will be subject to the same restrictions. If you have many Subaccounts, the system will take approximately three (3) minutes to apply the restrictions to all of them.
— To reactivate your account, please refer to here.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to deactivate your account:
When logged in to your account
Step 1: Log in to your Bybit account and proceed to Security by clicking the profile icon in the top left corner on the home page.
Step 2: Go to Account Settings and tap on Deactivate an Account.
Step 3: There are three options from which to choose as your reason for account deactivation. Please choose the most relevant one.
-
There is suspicious account activity. I would like to disable login for the account.
You can choose this reason if you notice any suspicious account activity, or if someone has hacked into your Bybit account.
-
I no longer wish to continue using this account on Bybit.
If you would like to deactivate your account, you may select this option.
-
Others
If your account deactivation reason is none of the above, you may choose Others and specify the reason.

Step 1: Go to the Bybit App and tap on the headphone icon.
Step 2: Tap on View Details under the Lock Account.
Step 3: Select “Apply to lock account via email if unable to log in” and enter your email address.
