In a significant move to enhance cryptocurrency accessibility across Africa, Yellow Card is pleased to announce that Onramper, a global fiat-to-crypto gateway provider, has integrated Yellow Card’s innovative widget into its platform. This strategic integration will transform how digital currencies are accessed and utilised throughout Africa, ensuring that Africans can engage with crypto more efficiently than ever before and improving transaction efficiency and user experience.
With this integration, Onramper's customers can now buy and sell digital assets like USDT, BTC, and USDC and more seamlessly using familiar local payment methods such as mobile money (Momo), and direct bank transfers. This move significantly simplifies the process for customers to access cryptocurrencies, accommodating a range of payment preferences and enhancing user convenience.
“As we continue to drive financial inclusion across Africa, our partnership with Onramper marks a pivotal step toward making digital assets more accessible and user-friendly. This collaboration is more than just a technological integration—it’s a pathway to economic resilience and a step forward in empowering Africans to take control of their financial futures.” — Gillian Darko, Chief of Staff and Director of Strategy at Yellow Card
The collaboration leverages Yellow Card’s robust security measures and KYC protocols to ensure safe and compliant transactions. By integrating Yellow Card’s security protocols and thorough Know Your Customer (KYC) processes, we will ensure that every transaction is not only safe but also compliant with local regulations. This will empower customers to perform transactions in their local currencies while mitigating the risks associated with fraud, currency fluctuations, and exchange rates.
We believe this partnership will not only address Africa’s accessibility concerns but will also speed up crypto adoption by reducing transaction costs and providing a secure, seamless, and user-friendly platform. By facilitating more accessible, cost-effective, and secure financial transactions, the partnership stands to empower millions of Africans and promote financial inclusion and economic resilience.
