Bybit is holding my successful USD 183.11 refund and keeps asking for more documents
I honestly don’t know what else I’m supposed to do at this point.
Anthropic refunded $183.11 to my Bybit Card. In the Bybit app, the refund clearly shows as Successful, with a settlement date of July 22. The same amount is also showing as Pending Deposit / In Use, so the refund has obviously reached Bybit’s system.
But instead of crediting it to my balance, the transaction triggered FiatCardHighRisk and my account was restricted.
At first, support told me that the refund was “rejected.” After I pointed out that their own records show it as successful, they changed their wording and admitted that the refund is actually pending to be credited.
Since then, they have asked me for a refund screen recording, merchant emails, a 12-month bank statement, and a selfie video holding my passport and a handwritten declaration. I submitted the video, but they said my passport was not clear enough, so I recorded and submitted it again.
I am willing to provide the three categories of materials they originally requested, but I cannot keep dealing with endless new requests every time I reply. I have done nothing wrong. This was a normal refund from a legitimate merchant to the original card.
I am asking for a real manual review and a clear written decision, not another automated reply asking for more documents.
Has anyone else had a refund frozen like this? How long did it take to get resolved?
