Verification
What is KYC Verification?
KYC stands for "Know Your Customer." The platform requires users to perform identity verification in order to comply with anti-money laundering regulations and ensure that the identity information submitted by users is true and effective.
The KYC verification process can ensure the legal compliance of user funds and reduce fraud and money laundering.
BYDFi requires fiat deposit users to complete KYC authentication before initiating withdrawals.
The KYC application submitted by users will be reviewed by BYDFi within an hour.

Why is the final offer from the service provider different from what I see on BYDFi?
The quotations on BYDFi come from the prices provided by the third-party service providers and are for reference only. They may differ from final quotes due to market movements or rounding errors. For accurate quotations, please visit the official website of each service provider.
How long does it take for my purchased cryptos to arrive?
Cryptocurrencies are usually deposited into your BYDFi account within 2 to 10 minutes of purchase. However, this may take longer, depending on blockchain network conditions and the service level of a particular service provider. For new users, cryptocurrency deposits may take a day.
If I have not received the cryptos I bought, what could be the reason and who should I ask for help?
According to our service providers, the main reasons for the delay in buying cryptos are the following two points:
- Failed to submit a complete KYC (identity verification) document during registration
- The payment didn’t go through successfully
If you haven’t received the cryptos you bought in your BYDFi account within 2 hours, please seek assistance from the service provider immediately. If you need assistance from BYDFi customer service, please provide us with the TXID (Hash) of the transfer, which can be obtained from the supplier platform.
What do the other states in the fiat transaction record represent?
- Pending: Fiat deposit transaction has been submitted, pending payment or additional verification (if any) to be received by the third-party provider. Please check your email for any additional requirements from the third-party provider. Beside, If you do not pay your order, this order is shown "Pending" status. Please note that some payment methods may take longer to be received by the providers.
- Paid: Fiat deposit was successfully made, pending cryptocurrency transfer into the BYDFi account.
- Completed: The transaction has been completed, and cryptocurrency has been or will be transferred into your BYDFi account.
- Canceled: The transaction was canceled due to one of the following reasons:
- Payment timeout: Traders did not pay within a certain amount of time

- Rejected by the third-party provider
Trading
What are Fees on BYDFi
As with any other cryptocurrency exchange, there are fees associated with opening and closing positions. According to the official page, this is how the spot trading fees are calculated:
| Maker Transaction Fee | Taker Transaction Fee | |
| All Spot Trading Pairs | 0.1% - 0.3% | 0.1% - 0.3% |
What are Limit Orders
Limit orders are used to open positions at a price that’s different from the current market price.
In this particular example, we have selected a Limit Order to buy Bitcoin when the price drops down to $41,000 as it currently trades at $42,000. We have selected to buy BTC worth 50% of our currently available capital, and as soon as we hit the [Buy BTC] button, this order will be placed in the order book, waiting to be filled if the price drops down to $41,000.
What are Market Orders
Market orders, on the other hand, are executed immediately with the best available market price – this is where the name comes from.
Here, we’ve selected the market order to buy BTC worth 50% of our capital. As soon as we hit the [Buy BTC] button, the order will be filled immediately at the best available market price from the order book.
Withdrawal
Why hasn’t my withdrawal arrived in the account?
Withdrawal is divided into three steps: withdrawal - block confirmation - crediting.
- If the withdrawal status is "Successful", it means that the transfer processing of BYDFi has been completed. You can copy the transaction ID (TXID) to the corresponding block browser to check the progress of the withdrawal.
- If the blockchain shows "not confirmed", please wait patiently until the blockchain is confirmed. If the blockchain is "confirmed", but the payment is delayed, please contact the receiving platform to assist you in the payment.
Common Reasons for Withdrawal Failure
Generally speaking, there are several reasons for the failure of withdrawal:
- Wrong address
- No Tag or Memo filled in
- Wrong Tag or Memo filled in
- Network delay, etc.
Checking method: You can check the specific reasons on the withdrawal page , check whether the address copy is complete, whether the corresponding currency and the selected chain are correct, and whether there are special characters or space keys.
If the reason is not mentioned above, the withdrawal will be returned to the account after failure. If the withdrawal has not been processed for more than 1 hour, you can submit a request or contact our online customer service for handling.
Do I have to verify KYC?
In general, users who have not completed KYC can still withdraw coins, but the amount is different from those who have completed KYC. However, if the risk control is triggered, the withdrawal can only be made after completing KYC.
- Unverified Users: 1.5 BTC per day
- Verified Users: 6 BTC per day.
