Money20/20 Awards Recognize Yellow Card Among Industry Leaders

Yellow Card Named Money20/20 Awards Finalist

Yellow Card, the leading fintech innovator building critical payments infrastructure across Africa and emerging markets, has been named a finalist for the Payments Award at the first-ever Money Awards, hosted by Money20/20. The event will honor global innovators redefining the future of financial services in Las Vegas on Sunday, 26 October.

This nomination caps a landmark year for Yellow Card, which has been marked by: rapid growth; strategic partnerships with industry giants such as Visa and Fireblocks; as well as their successful expansion into emerging markets.

"Our vision has always been bigger than just payments; it’s about creating a level playing field where an entrepreneur in Lagos or Nairobi has the same opportunity to scale globally as one in London or New York. Being a finalist at Money20/20 tells us the world is not just watching, but recognizing the importance of that mission,” said Chris Maurice, CEO and Co-founder of Yellow Card.

The award also acknowledges Yellow Card’s unique technological advancements.

"From an architectural standpoint, our innovation lies in making the complex feel simple. Businesses don't need to be crypto experts to benefit from the speed and efficiency of stablecoins. We built an infrastructure layer that handles all the back-end complexity. This nomination recognizes that a powerful customer experience is just as critical as the underlying technology. We're building the financial layer to enable businesses around the world to harness the power of stablecoins and emerging market rails alike,” said Justin Poiroux, CTO and Co-founder of Yellow Card.

As the team looks forward to the Money Awards ceremony, the team is doubling down to deliver even greater innovation across African and emerging markets. Find out how Yellow Card’s infrastructure can help your business. Book a call today.
