Account Balance Management, Spending Limits, and Fee Schedule
Account Balance and Spending Power
To determine how much you can spend with your Bitget Card, follow these steps:
Step 1: Check Your Available Balance:
Ensure you have sufficient funds in your Bitget USDT funding account. The available balance is the amount you can use for transactions.
Step 2: Consider the Temporary Frozen Amount:
When you authorize a transaction, Bitget temporarily freezes 120% of the transaction amount. This extra 20% acts as a security measure to cover any potential fees or charges.
The unfreezing process usually occurs as soon as the transaction is cleared, but it may take some time to be reflected in your Bitget Card balance due to Visa and/or bank processing.
Step 3: Calculate Your Spending Power:
Your effective spending power is the amount in your funding account divided by 1.2. This ensures you have enough to cover both the transaction and the temporary freeze.
Example Calculation
Available Balance: $1,200
Effective Spending Power: $1,200 / 1.2 = $1,000
In this example, with an available balance of $1,200, you can spend up to $1,000. The additional $200 will be temporarily held and released once the transaction is cleared.
