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.
Yellow Card has now joined the Fireblocks Network for Payments – bringing emerging markets expertise and African infrastructure to a global ecosystem.
Chris Maurice CEO and co-founder of Yellow Card, comments: “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 specialised infrastructure to a network that has already secured over $10-trillion in digital asset transfers, Yellow Card is helping to bridge the gap between global financial services and underserved markets.
From a technical perspective, the 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, chief technology officer and co-founder of Yellow Card. “Solutions can be engineered that move as fast as our clients’ ambitions,” he adds.
While the Fireblocks Network for Payments spans the globe, Yellow Card unlocks its potential in Africa and emerging markets, connecting and expanding global financial services.
