Tier 2 - KYC Documents Accepted for Proof of Residential address

The KYC process is essential to what we do at Yellow Card. It is supposed to protect the customers, and we take it very seriously. Please find below some documents that we will accept when submitting your Tier 2 verification.

  • Documents must match your identity document and address on the account.
  • Bank document is only acceptable from a bank operating from or incorporated in a FATF member country
  • Documents issued monthly (i.e. utility bills for services) must be less than 3 months old.
  • Documents issued annually (i.e. TAX documents) must be less than 12 months old.  
  • Longer dated documents (i.e. leases and valuations) must be valid and must be confirmed as current information.
  • For KYC submissions, please do not edit or alter your KYC document to show your information, as this violates our policy.
