Yellow Card partners with Tranzmit to power USA-Nigeria stablecoin payment corridor

Yellow Card, a licensed stablecoin infrastructure provider for emerging markets, has announced that Tranzmit Payment Services, a subsidiary of Tranzmit Corporation, has integrated its Payments API.

The partnership gives Tranzmit’s U.S. operations a direct settlement path abroad, starting with its USA-to-Nigeria corridor, one of the company’s largest and fastest-growing.

Tranzmit has spent decades building infrastructure to help people communicate and move money across borders, but delivering fast, reliable payments in emerging markets has historically meant navigating legacy banking channels that add cost, delay and uncertainty to every transaction.

By integrating Yellow Card’s Payments API, Tranzmit gains a direct, stablecoin-powered route into local markets, converting between U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoins and local currency to help ensure payments arrive faster, at better rates and with greater predictability than traditional settlement methods.

Yellow Card CEO and Co-Founder Chris Maurice said Tranzmit’s track record in cross-border money movement made the partnership a natural fit.

“Tranzmit has been moving money and connecting people across borders for decades, and that kind of track record speaks for itself,” he said.

“What this integration does is give Tranzmit’s operations in emerging markets a significant upgrade, replacing the friction and unpredictability of legacy settlement with something that is fast, transparent, and purpose-built for the markets their customers care about most. We are proud to be the infrastructure behind that upgrade and look forward to what we can build together,” Maurice added.

Tranzmit CEO Daniel Asturias said the integration supports the company’s broader push to simplify cross-border transfers.

“At Tranzmit, we’re transforming the way money moves — making transfers simpler, smarter, and more seamless through innovative fintech technology. We empower businesses and people to move money with confidence, speed, and ease,” he said.

The integration marks another step in Yellow Card’s push to become the infrastructure of choice for global payment companies operating in emerging markets, as demand grows for cross-border payment rails that do not rely on correspondent banking.

Yellow Card supports more than 50 currencies and counts Visa and Western Union among its customers, combining global reach with deep coverage across emerging markets.

Tranzmit Corporation is a global provider of communications and financial services, with a portfolio spanning international calling products, money transfer services and payment solutions. Through its payments division, the company delivers cross-border financial services to individuals and businesses across some of the world’s most dynamic and underserved markets.
