Bitget has become one of the most popular exchanges among Mexican crypto users. Here's a complete setup guide specifically for Mexico — including which payment methods work, what ID to use for KYC, and how to get the best P2P rates in MXN.
Why Mexican Users Choose Bitget
- Deep MXN P2P liquidity (one of the deepest in Mexico)
- Supports SPEI bank transfers — Mexico's instant interbank system
- Spanish language interface and customer support
- Mobile app works reliably on Telcel, Movistar, and AT&T networks
- $300M insurance fund for added security
Step 1: Create Your Account
Go to bitget.com or download the Bitget app. Use your email or phone number. Enable 2FA immediately — use Google Authenticator rather than SMS for better security.
Referral note: New accounts can use referral codes for reduced trading fees in the first 30 days.
Step 2: KYC Verification
For Mexican users, Bitget accepts:
- INE (Credencial para Votar) — preferred, fastest approval
- Pasaporte Mexicano
- Cédula Profesional (for some cases)
Take clear, well-lit photos — blurry ID photos are the #1 reason for KYC delays. Verification typically completes in 1-24 hours.
Step 3: Navigate to P2P
Once verified, tap "P2P" from the main menu. Select:
- Asset: USDT
- Payment method: SPEI (for bank transfers) or OXXO Pay
- Currency: MXN
Step 4: Finding Good Sellers
Filter sellers by:
- Completion rate: Only trade with 95%+ completion rate
- Number of trades: 200+ trades shows reliability
- Online status: Green dot = currently active and will respond quickly
- Price: Within 1% of the median market price
Step 5: Execute Your First Trade
- Click on a seller → Enter amount in MXN or USDT
- The order locks the USDT in escrow
- You see the seller's SPEI CLABE number
- Send MXN via SPEI from your bank (BBVA, Banamex, HSBC, etc.)
- Upload payment proof (screenshot of confirmed SPEI transfer)
- Wait for seller to confirm and release USDT (usually 5-15 minutes)
OXXO Pay Option
Bitget P2P supports OXXO Pay for buyers without bank accounts. Generate a payment reference, pay at any OXXO store, and upload the receipt. This option is slower (OXXO confirmation can take 30-60 min) but accessible to anyone.
Common Mistakes Mexican Users Make
- Using wrong network for withdrawal — USDT on Ethereum is expensive. Use TRC20 (Tron) for cheap transfers.
- Not checking seller reputation — First-time scam victims almost always skipped the reputation check.
- Trading before KYC — Unverified accounts have withdrawal limits that trap funds.
