Frequently Asked Questions
Why don't I receive an SMS code?
If you don't receiving the SMS code, it's possible that your phone number is linked to a different or old Bitvavo account. If this does not sound correct, please contact support@bitvavo.com.
Why do I get an SMS saying that my phone number is in use?
You receive this message if your phone number is already linked to another Bitvavo account, so it cannot be added to a second one.
If you do not know who has your phone number linked to their Bitvavo account, please contact support@bitvavo.com.
