Why Do I Need to Verify My Identity?

You only need to verify your identity to unlock Yeeld’s financial services like accounts, cards, and investments—basic features can be used without KYC

Identity verification depends on how you use Yeeld.

If you’re using a Yeeld Connect account, you do not need to verify your identity. This free account allows you to:

  • Connect your existing bank accounts
  • View spending insights and analytics
  • Communicate with the AI assistant
  • Earn cashback and access basic features

You can get started with just:

  • A verified email address
  • A verified phone number
  • Connected third-party bank accounts

No identity verification (KYC) is required for this level of access.

If you upgrade to a Yeeld Companion subscription, identity verification becomes necessary.

This is because you gain access to regulated financial services, including:

  • Opening a Yeeld account
  • Receiving a Yeeld Visa card
  • Sending and receiving money
  • Opening ISAs, pensions, and investment accounts
  • Accessing additional financial products

By law, these services require us to verify your identity through a digital KYC (Know Your Customer) process.

Why this matters

Identity verification helps ensure:

  • Financial services are used safely and legally
  • Your account is protected from fraud
  • Yeeld complies with UK and international regulations

In short:

  • No KYC = insights, tracking, and AI tools
  • KYC required = full financial services and money movement

This approach gives you flexibility—use Yeeld for free, or unlock more powerful features when you're ready.
