Pionex’s current Terms of Service list Cuba as a Restricted Jurisdiction, so the old advice to use a VPN is unsafe and has been removed. The Terms also reserve powers to restrict accounts or assets in defined circumstances. An affected user should request official, account-specific withdrawal or closure instructions from Pionex Support.

What the current Pionex Terms say
The current eligibility section lists Cuba among jurisdictions whose residents, nationals or controlled persons are restricted from using the services. The Terms also state that Pionex may limit, suspend, deactivate or terminate an account and may freeze assets in specified legal, verification, risk or restricted-activity situations.
What this page cannot promise
| Unsafe claim | Responsible answer |
|---|---|
| Your funds will never be frozen | The Terms reserve restriction and freeze powers; account outcomes are case-specific |
| A VPN makes access acceptable | Do not bypass geographic or identity controls |
| Every affected account can withdraw immediately | Request the permitted withdrawal or closure route from official Support |
Do not use a VPN or false information to evade controls
A different IP address does not change residence, nationality, verification status or legal eligibility. Circumventing controls can conflict with the Terms and complicate recovery or withdrawal instructions.
How to request an account-specific resolution
- Use the official signed-in Pionex Support channel if available.
- State the restriction message and when it appeared.
- Provide the UID and requested verification evidence through the secure workflow.
- Ask specifically for the permitted withdrawal or account-closure process.
- Save the support case number and transaction records.
Separate account eligibility from product restrictions
A bank-card restriction, KYC limitation, IP block and full account eligibility rule are not interchangeable. Use the policy that applies to the affected service and let Support confirm the account state.
Read the current Pionex Terms of Service and the official unsupported phone number and KYC regions notice.
Frequently asked questions
Does Pionex currently list Cuba as a restricted jurisdiction?
Yes. The current Pionex Terms of Service page lists Cuba among its Restricted Jurisdictions. The list and applicable services can change, so recheck the current terms.
Does a Cuban IP address alone prove what will happen to an account?
No. Account status can depend on residence, nationality, verification, sanctions screening, activity and applicable law. Only official Pionex Support can explain an individual account.
Can Pionex restrict or freeze an account?
Pionex’s Terms reserve rights to limit, suspend or terminate accounts and to freeze assets in specified legal, verification, risk or restricted-activity situations.
Should you use a VPN to bypass a Pionex restriction?
No. Do not use a VPN or false location information to evade eligibility or compliance controls. It can conflict with the Terms and make account resolution harder.
Can an affected user withdraw funds?
Do not assume that withdrawal is automatically available or unavailable. Ask official Pionex Support for the permitted account-specific withdrawal or closure procedure and follow that instruction.
What evidence should you keep before contacting Support?
Keep the account UID, verified identity and residence information, restriction notice, timestamps, balances and transaction records. Never send passwords or security codes.
Where should you verify the current rule?
Check the current Pionex Terms of Service and official Help Center, then use the signed-in support channel for an account-specific decision.
