How to sign up for Bybit: beginner step-by-step guide
This guide follows Bybit’s official web registration and identity verification instructions reviewed in August 2026. Interface wording can vary by region and date.
Choose the Bybit affiliate path that matches your situation
Use the new-account path, the existing-account add-code path, or verify your actual fee rate after registration.
In eligible regions, code 2093 is applied automatically through our affiliate link. Current trading-fee discounts and other eligible affiliate benefits can be checked on the Bybit signup page. The publisher may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
If the Main Account has no affiliate or referral code, you may apply to add 2093 and check any affiliate benefits available to your account.
After signup or affiliate-code approval, My Fee Rate is the best place to verify your account’s actual maker and taker fees.
