For all subscriptions made before March 18, 2021, the validation of your postal address is the last step to definitively validate your Nickel account.
In accordance with our legal obligations, we must verify the accuracy of the information you provide.
How do I validate my postal address?
You can validate your mailing address by validating the code received by mail or by sending us a proof of address via our contact form.
After subscription, a mail is sent to your home within 2 to 4 days.
This mail contains an authentication code that begins with "HO" and this code validates your mailing address.
To validate the code two solutions:
-
Send it by sms: to 0460 21 39 26 from overseas departments
-
Or enter it directly into your customer area
Log in to your customer area and check or change your mailing address to receive new mail.
P.O. boxes are not a valid mailing address.

What happens if I don't validate my mailing address?
After 30 days without receiving the authentication code, your Nickel account will be automatically blocked.
To unlock it, all you have to do is confirm your postal address by choosing one of the 2 options listed above.
-
As long as the address is not confirmed, the services of your Nickel account are limited: in addition to the standard limits applicable to any new account, the cumulative amount of transactions debited from the account cannot exceed the sum of 750 euros.
-
As soon as the account is blocked, the account is also blocked on the credit side, which means that you will not be able to receive your transfers.The transfer will be returned to the issuer.
