Financially yours, Yellow Card.


Do not make direct/manual deposits from your bank account to the Nedbank beneficiary created in your account while following the account linking process. This will cause an unnecessary delay and you’ll have to provide proof of payment so we can find the deposit.

If you wish to use the Bank Transfer option – please follow the instructions in the Yellow Card app, and then make the deposit to the Sasfin bank account indicated using the reference provided.
