Uploading Your Letter to BackaBuddy #

Once you’ve got your confirmation letter, head to your campaign dashboard, go to the Verification section, and upload your document.

Double-check the following before uploading:
✔ Your full name is clearly visible
✔ Banking details match what’s listed on your campaign
✔ The letter is dated within the last 3 months
✔ The file is a PDF or clear image (JPG/PNG)

We recommend doing this as soon as you can — this is the final step before your funds can be paid out.
