Processing fee: Different payment methods have different associated costs and processing fee depends on the payment method the Customer chooses.

Service fee: BTCBIT typically imposes Service Fee from 0.5% till 8.0%, and it depends on chosen payment method and crypto asset.

Network fee: The miners demand the Network Fee to be paid for transactions to be processed on the blockchain. This fee gets charged per transaction, no matter the amount paid, and varies based on the market demand for the particular cryptocurrency selected. It is applicable to every mode of payment.

BTCBIT retains the authority to unilaterally adjust its fees. However, any modifications will solely affect new transactions. Existing transactions will not be subject to fee adjustments. Therefore, the total and definitive fees displayed when placing your order are conclusive.

6. Transaction processing/Refunds

We strive to process all transactions within 30 minutes of receipt of the customer`s payment. In some (individual) cases where payment is received outside of business hours (weekdays between 9:00 and 18:00 EET/EEST), the transaction will be processed during business hours of the following business day.

6.1. Please note that in some cases, as determined by internal company policy, BTCBIT may request additional information or documents to complete a transaction, which must be provided not later than 24 hours after receipt of a request.

Requested documents are reviewed on average within 24 hours of submission, excluding weekends. If the documents/information do not fully meet the requirements of the request, you will receive an additional request. In such a case, the review period will be extended for another 24 hours, excluding weekends, from the last time the documents/information were provided.

Under certain circumstances (e.g., large number of documents to be reviewed, large number of transactions, and other conditions involving a more in-depth study), the review may take longer.

6.2. If your transaction has not been processed and you have not received a request for documents/information within 72 hours of the payment receipt, you have the option to request a reversal of the payment and the funds will be refunded to you in full. Typically, a refund request is processed within 24 hours, excluding weekends, and is made using the same payment method used for the original transaction. However, the speed of crediting the refunded funds to the client`s account/card depends on the payment method and the work of a particular payment service provider.

6.3. Please note that BTCBIT Sp. z o.o. is not a payment service provider (PSP - A payment service provider) and does not have a financial license. Therefore, long-term storage of any client funds in our service is prohibited.

In situations where the transaction (exchange) cannot be processed (see clauses 2., 8., 11. and 12. of this Agreement) and the return of funds is impossible within 60 days due to the fact that:

  • the customer fails to contact either the e-mail address or phone number provided
  • the client does not provide additional information for the return of cryptocurrency
