Our mission & vision statement
Yellow Card is the Stablecoin payments infrastructure for emerging markets, enabling international payments, treasury management, and access to hard currency liquidity. We make it easy for businesses to operate in challenging parts of the emerging world.
We’re the largest and first licensed Stablecoin on/off ramp in Africa.
In 2018 Chris Maurice (CEO) and Justin Poiroux (CTO) met a man who sent $200 from America to his family in Nigeria. The bank charged $90.
Since then, we've been passionate about providing secure, cost-effective cash management solutions for individuals and businesses across emerging markets.
