Yellow Card Supercharges Cross-Border Payments, Joining the Fireblocks Network for Payments

For businesses operating across Africa, the landscape of cross-border payments has long been a complex puzzle of fragmented systems, high costs, and slow, manual processes. At Yellow Card, our mission has always been to solve this puzzle by building financial infrastructure that truly works for emerging markets.

Today, we are thrilled to announce a massive leap in that mission.

Yellow Card has officially joined the groundbreaking Fireblocks Network for Payments, bringing our emerging markets expertise and proven African infrastructure to a revolutionary global ecosystem. This isn't just a partnership; it's us expanding the network's reach into markets that have been underserved for too long.

Bringing Emerging Markets to the Global Stage

So, what does this mean in practice? It means we're not just connecting to existing infrastructure, we're enhancing it with our specialized knowledge and capabilities.

As our CEO and co-founder, Chris Maurice, puts it: "We're bringing our world-class infrastructure to the Fireblocks Network, enabling global financial institutions to confidently enter and scale across over 20 African countries. Our deep local expertise combined with their global network creates unprecedented opportunities for worldwide expansion into emerging markets."

By contributing our specialized infrastructure to a network that has already secured over $10 trillion in digital asset transfers, we're helping to bridge the gap between global financial services and underserved markets.

What This Means for Our Customers

This strategic move positions our customers at the center of a global financial revolution. When you build with Yellow Card, you gain:

• Market Leadership Position: You're not just entering African and emerging markets,  you're accessing them through infrastructure that's now part of a global network, giving you competitive advantages that others simply can't match.
• Enhanced Global Reach: Our platform now connects seamlessly with international partners, enabling you to serve customers who need both local expertise and global capabilities.
• Pioneering Infrastructure: You benefit from our role as the emerging markets specialist within a world-class network, accessing innovations designed specifically for the challenges and opportunities of African business.

From a technical perspective, this integration represents a fundamental shift in how companies approach cross-border infrastructure.

"The Fireblocks Network, paired with our Emerging market Payout services, gives companies the technical foundation to build at a global scale while maintaining the security and compliance standards that clients expect," explains Justin Poiroux, Yellow Card CTO and co-founder. "Solutions can be engineered that move as fast as our clients' ambitions," he adds.

Pioneering the Future of Global Financial Inclusion

While the Fireblocks Network for Payments spans the globe, we're the key that unlocks its potential in Africa and emerging markets. We're not just connecting to existing infrastructure,  we're expanding what's possible for global financial services.

With Stablecoins now processing more annual volume than Visa and Mastercard combined, the world needs infrastructure that can serve every market, not just the established ones. Yellow Card is leading this charge by ensuring that no market gets left behind in the financial revolution.

This partnership represents more than growth; it is a validation of our vision that emerging markets deserve world-class financial infrastructure. By bringing our capabilities to the Fireblocks Network, we're proving that Africa isn't just a destination for global services, but a source of innovation and expertise.
