Yellow Card, the leading stablecoin infrastructure provider for emerging markets, has won the Grand Prix Award in the Payments category at Money20/20 USA. The award, presented on 26 October in Las Vegas, recognized Yellow Card’s significant contributions to the global payments landscape, placing it ahead of J.P. Morgan Payments, Mastercard, Zerohash, Mynt, and many more.
This moment caps a groundbreaking year for the company, which secured strategic partnerships with the likes of Visa and expanded its footprint into major emerging markets, including Brazil, India, and Mexico, as well as established financial hubs like Singapore and Hong Kong.
"We are incredibly honored to receive this recognition from Money20/20," said Chris Maurice, CEO and Co-founder of Yellow Card, who accepted the award. "This is more than a milestone; it solidifies our place as a key player in the industry and signals the growing global recognition of our mission. None of this would have been possible without our incredible team, partners, investors, and customers. This moment validates what we’ve achieved together and serves as a springboard for what comes next.”
Yellow Card's innovative B2B infrastructure has been the engine of its growth, enabling banks, fintechs, and enterprises to move value across borders with unprecedented efficiency.
“We are only scratching the surface of what’s possible,” said Justin Poiroux, CTO and Co-founder of Yellow Card. “We haven’t even begun to see how far this technology can go - the efficiencies, the connections, and the new markets it can unlock. If anything, this moment is the beginning of something much larger. And we’re only just getting started.”
