Yellow Card Wins Payments Award Over Global Industry Giants

Yellow Card, a stablecoin infrastructure provider for emerging markets, has won the Grand Prix Award in the Payments category at Money20/20 USA.

The award, presented in Las Vegas, recognised 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.

The CEO and co-founder of Yellow Card, Chris Maurice, said, “We are incredibly honoured to receive this recognition from Money20/20.

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.”

He noted that “none of this would have been possible without our incredible team, partners, investors, and customers. This moment validates what we have achieved together and serves as a springboard for what comes next.”

He added that “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.”

The CTO and co-founder of Yellow Card, Justin Poiroux, added that “we are only scratching the surface of what’s possible. We have not even begun to see how far this technology can go, the efficiencies it can unlock, and the new markets it can connect. If anything, this moment is the beginning of something much larger.”

Its presence spans 20 African countries, major emerging markets such as Brazil, India, Mexico, and China, as well as established financial hubs like Singapore and Hong Kong.
