Open Bybit Account →What you need to open an account
- A valid email address or phone number

- A funding method — P2P (naira), an on-chain transfer, or a supported card/fiat option
How long: Sign-up takes minutes; identity verification is typically completed within a day, sometimes faster
Eligibility: Available to adult residents of Nigeria; confirm current eligibility and any regional restrictions on Bybit before registering
Step by step
- Click the ‘Open Account’ button on this page to start your registration.
- Enter your email or phone number and create a secure password.
- Complete the registration form with your Nigerian residential details.
- Verify your identity (KYC) — upload a government ID and proof of address.
- Fund your account via P2P (naira) or a supported crypto/card deposit.
- Download the app or desktop client and start trading (or practise on the demo first).
Most Nigerian users fund their first trade through P2P — buying crypto with naira from a verified counterparty — rather than a direct card or bank deposit.
Before you deposit
It is worth getting comfortable with the platform and testing your strategy with virtual funds on a free demo account first.
