# Connect Bybit

## Create an account with Bybit

If you do not yet have an account with Bybit, first go to [www.bybit.com](http://www.bybit.com) and choose to create a login option.

**What you need:** Working email address, Passport, Mobile phone, Phone number and the Google Authenticator app.

After you have created a login and verified your specified email (by confirming an email from ByBit), choose 'Identity Verification' in the main menu. You will now enter a KYC process (KYC = Know Your Client) in which you will prove to ByBit that you are who you say you are (using a passport or identity card), and you provide your personal bank account and your telephone number.

You will arrive at the following screen:
