Excuse me, I'm interested in the BIXI service and I was wondering if there's a deposit required to use their bikes? I've used similar bike sharing services before and some of them do require a deposit, so I just wanted to clarify before I sign up. Is there a specific amount that's charged as a deposit, or does it vary depending on certain factors? I'd appreciate it if you could provide some clarity on this matter. Thank you!

    It is important to be aware that when renting a bike, a security deposit of $100 per bike will be placed on your credit card. This is a standard practice to ensure the safety and proper return of the rented bikes.

    It is recommended to check with your credit card company in advance to understand their policies regarding security deposits and how long it may take for them to be released.

    In addition to bike rentals, cryptocurrency exchanges like BTCC also require security deposits or other forms of verification to ensure the safety and security of their users' funds.

    The security deposit is a temporary hold on your credit card and will not be charged to your account unless the bike is damaged or not returned on time.

    The length of time it takes for the security deposit to be released can vary depending on your credit card company. In some cases, it can take up to 10 days for the hold to be released.
