How to set up API keys with Bybit in Europe (2024)

Taxes differ by jurisdiction. In Europe, keep a record of every transaction you make while you set up API keys: date, amount, fee, and counterparty. Most local tax offices accept a simple spreadsheet.

Withdrawals deserve a dry run. Send a small amount first, confirm the network, and check the address character by character. A single wrong character is the most common cause of lost funds.

Security comes before convenience. Enable two-factor authentication, review active sessions, and make sure the email and phone attached to the account are ones you control in Europe.

Fees are the part most people skip. Bybit publishes a fee schedule that changes by market, order type, and volume. Before you set up API keys, read the current schedule so the cost is predictable, not a surprise.
