Once the Yellow Card widget loads up, you should see an Order Summary page. Click ā€œContinueā€.

Step 8: Yellow Card KYC validation

  • Yellow Card will ask you to log in to their payment gateway to validate your information.

  • Please type in your preferred email address (either an existing email address, if you’ve used Yellow Card before, or your current Sentz email address).
    You will be sent a six-digit code for authentication.

  • Yellow Card may require manual review of your KYC documentation; in that case, you will receive an email and push notification when your application is approved.

  • Click ā€œContinueā€ until you get to the Deposit Confirmation page.

N.B.: When returning to the Sentz app, you may need to restart your order, as exchange rates may have changed.
