I sent coins to the wrong address, how do I get it back?

We understand that sending coins to the wrong address is possible due to human error or oversight. However, coins sent to the wrong address and the wrong blockchain network are irreversible because of the design of the blockchain.

So, we would like to suggest that you double-check the address you're sending coins to before confirming the transaction.

Here are a few ways to ensure you don't make a mistake when sending coins:

Crosscheck the recipient's blockchain address

While you're less likely to make a mistake if you copy the address as opposed to typing it out, you should still ensure that the copied address is correct.

Confirm email address or phone number

If you're sending coins using the email address or phone number option, ensure that the displayed name matches the name of the recipient before confirming the send.

To ensure you don't send coins to a phone number or email address that isn't registered on Yellow Card, you will not be able to confirm the transfer.
