Bybit CardBybit Card scores 8 of 16 on the CBL Card Score. Bybit EU, Mastercard. Custodial, MiCA segregation stated. Moorwand and Heuro, named by third parties only.
Watch. MiCA-authorised entity in Austria and an e-money licence at a sister company, but the card issuer is not named on Bybit's own pages, balances are custodial exchange funds, the group lost about $1.46bn in the February 2025 hack (customers made whole, reserves audited at 1:1 within 72 hours), and it paid regulator fines in the Netherlands (€2.25m, 2024) and India (about $1m, 2025).

The dispute route, in order: the company's own support desk, then the card network's chargeback rules, then the regulator of the issuer where one is named. A frozen card is a question, not a verdict: the Frozen Account Survival Kit applies to cards too.
