How to Become a Commercial Trader?

Have you ever thought about trading freely without major constraints? Yes, probably. This is possible with Commercial Trading. 

In order to become a Commercial trader, you would first have to commit to trading high volumes per trade. This would entail a minimum of $50,000 USDT. Once you are willing to commit to the minimum trade volumes, Yellow Card would need to receive your email address as well as country information. From there, you would go through an onboarding process, in which, we will send onboarding documents to fill out. Lastly, you would be required to complete all KYC documentation for the individuals as well as all businesses.

Please note however, for now, all sales of USDT in Nigeria are done online, regardless of volume. Contact our Commercial Trading team for further assistance.

Thank you for choosing Yellow Card.
