Q1: Why can’t I use PIX to purchase crypto even though I’ve completed Brazilian KYC?

Your KYC document may not contain a CPF number. Please click the “Support” icon in the bottom-right corner of the website and request to redo your KYC using an ID that includes your CPF.

Q2: What should I do if the funds haven’t arrived after a PIX payment?

Ensure the payment amount matches exactly what is shown on the page and that the payment was completed within the valid time frame. If the funds still haven’t arrived, contact LBank’s online support and provide your order number and a screenshot of your PIX receipt.

Q3: Which banks can I use for PIX payments?

Almost all Brazilian banks that support PIX can be used, including Nubank, Bradesco, Itaú, Santander, Banco do Brasil, and more.

Q4: Can I use a friend’s or family member’s bank account for payment?

No. To ensure fund security, please use a bank account that matches your KYC identity.

Q5: Where is the crypto I purchased stored?

Once the purchase is complete, your crypto will be directly credited to your LBank Spot Wallet.
