Money20/20 Recognises Yellow Card Among Industry Leaders

Yellow Card has been named a finalist for the Payments Category at the first-ever Money Awards, hosted by Money20/20.

The event will honour global innovators redefining the future of financial services in Las Vegas on October 26, 2025. 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, and successful expansion into emerging markets.

CEO and co-founder of Yellow Card, Chris Maurice said that “our vision has always been bigger than just payments; it is about creating a level playing field where an entrepreneur in São Paulo or Lagos 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.”

The CTO and co-founder of Yellow Card, Justin Poiroux, noted that the recognition also acknowledges Yellow Card’s unique technological advancements, explaining that “from an architectural standpoint, our innovation lies in making the complex feel simple. Businesses do not 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 recognises that a powerful customer experience is as critical as the underlying technology. We are building the financial layer to enable businesses worldwide to harness the power of stablecoins and emerging market rails.”

Yellow Card is the largest licensed stablecoin-based infrastructure provider in 34 countries, with a network spanning Africa and other key global markets. The Company’s mission is to make it easy for businesses of all sizes to make international payments, protect their financial assets, manage their treasury function, and access hard currency liquidity.
