Yellow Card Integrates with Fireblocks to Transform Cross-Border Payments in Africa
Yellow Card, one of Africa’s leading fintech firms, has officially joined the Fireblocks Network for Payments, bringing its emerging markets expertise and trusted infrastructure into a global ecosystem that has already processed more than $10 trillion in digital asset transfers.
The move significantly expands Fireblocks’ reach into over 20 African countries, giving global financial institutions the confidence to scale seamlessly across the continent. By connecting its infrastructure directly to Fireblocks, Yellow Card is helping bridge the gap between global financial services and markets that have long been underserved.
“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 clients expect,” says Justin Poiroux, Yellow Card CTO and co-founder. “Solutions can now move as fast as our clients’ ambitions.”
For African businesses, the partnership promises access to innovations tailored to local realities, while also connecting them with international partners and world-class infrastructure. It places customers at the center of a financial revolution that blends global capabilities with local expertise.
The timing is significant. Stablecoins are now processing more annual transaction volume than Visa and Mastercard combined, underscoring the demand for faster, more efficient payment rails. The Yellow Card–Fireblocks integration is a major step in proving that emerging markets not only deserve but also require robust, world-class financial infrastructure.
