Contacting the YellowCard Support Team
How to reach us, what to send, and what to expect.

How to Reach Us

directly for any queries, transaction issues, or integration questions.
Best for: General queries, transaction issues, integration support, account questions, and escalations.
Telegram:
Once onboarded, some partners are also supported via a dedicated Telegram channel. This
channel is used to resolve transaction-related issues and API integration questions in real time.
Best for: General queries, transaction issues, integration support, account questions, and escalations.
What to Include in Your Request
| Information | Details |
| Your account email | The email address registered to your YellowCard partner account. |
| Transaction ID | The unique identifier for the transaction in question. |
| Error message or code | The exact error returned in the API response or visible on your dashboard. |
| Destination country/corridor | The country and payment rail involved (e.g., Nigeria via bank transfer, Kenya via M-Pesa). |
| Timestamp | When the transaction was initiated or when the issue occurred. |

What to Expect After You Reach Out
Once you contact support, here's what happens:
| Acknowledgement | You will receive a confirmation that your request has been received. For urgent issues, our team will prioritise accordingly |
| Investigation | Our team will review your account, transaction records, and any documentation you've provided. For complex issues, this may require coordination with our payments or engineering team. |
| Update & Resolution | We will keep you informed throughout the process and provide a resolution or next steps as soon as the investigation is complete. |
Tips for Faster Resolution
• Send one request per issue: Multiple messages about the same issue can create duplicate tickets
and slow things down.
• Be specific: Vague descriptions like "my transaction is not working" take longer to investigate.
Include the transaction ID and error details.
• Attach screenshots. If there's an error visible on your screen or dashboard, a screenshot helps
our team understand the issue immediately.
• Check your dashboard first. Many common issues, such as a transaction's current status or an
error message, are already visible there.
Not sure if your issue is a bug or a configuration problem? Send us the details anyway. Our support team will help diagnose the root cause and point you in the right direction, whether it's a
code fix, a settings update, or an escalation to our technical team.
