LBank MiCA status in detail

LBank does not hold a verified MiCA CASP licence. LBank’s user agreement, updated in July 2026, names LBK Exchange as the operator. It restricts about 34 jurisdictions but no EU or EEA state, so LBank continues to accept EEA users without a MiCA authorisation. It is not on the ESMA CASP register.

Practical effect: LBank has no verified CASP authorisation. Check the contracting entity and any separate permissions before you rely on MiCA conduct, safeguarding or complaint rights.

If you hold funds on LBank

  1. Read LBank’s latest notice for your country. It sets any account restrictions and withdrawal deadlines.
  2. Move assets to a wallet you control or to a MiCA-licensed exchange. Send a small test transfer first and check the network.
  3. Keep statements, transaction IDs and the date of each withdrawal.
  4. If a withdrawal fails, write to support and report the firm to your national regulator. The MiCA warning list shows whether a regulator has already flagged it. Read when an exchange can freeze your funds.

Which LBank entity serves EU users

The LBank user agreement, in the version dated 22 July 2026, says LBK Exchange operates the platform. British Virgin Islands law governs the agreement, and disputes go to arbitration in Dubai. The agreement lists restricted jurisdictions in two places. The longer list covers about 34 jurisdictions, and the second list adds Belarus. Neither list contains an EU or EEA state, so the terms allow sign-ups from every EU country.

Is LBank MiCA licensed?

No LBank or LBK entity appeared in the ESMA CASP snapshot dated 6 October 2026. We found no public LBank announcement of a MiCA application. We also found no LBank entry on the AMF, FSMA, CONSOB or Polish KNF warning lists that we checked.

Article 59 of MiCA requires a firm to hold an authorisation before it provides crypto-asset services in the EU. Article 61 allows a non-EU firm to serve an EU client only when the client starts the contact on their own exclusive initiative. A platform that accepts EU sign-ups without an authorisation gives its EU users no MiCA protection, such as rules on the safekeeping of client assets and complaint handling.

What LBank users in the EU do not get

An authorised CASP must keep client crypto-assets apart from its own under Article 70 of MiCA. Article 71 requires a free complaints procedure, and Article 72 requires a policy on conflicts of interest. National authorities supervise those duties. LBank is subject to none of them for its EU users, and its agreement sends disputes to arbitration in Dubai rather than to an EU court or authority.

Common questions

Can I still use LBank from the EU?

MiCA does not itself make account holding illegal. National and product rules can still apply. Since 1 July 2026, an in-scope provider generally needs an Article 63 authorisation or an eligible Article 60 notification route. LBank can apply location restrictions or close user accounts.

Is money on LBank protected under MiCA?

LBank has no verified CASP authorisation. Do not assume that MiCA conduct, safeguarding or EU-regulator complaint rights apply to the service. Verify the contracting entity and any separate permissions.

Is there a MiCA-licensed alternative to LBank?

Yes. 52 of the exchanges we track have current MiCA register entries. The licensed list shows each mapped entity, regulator and entry date.
