Yellow Card is the leading pan-African crypto on/off-ramp, available in 20+ African countries (Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, Cameroon, Senegal, and others). Operates as a consumer wallet + B2B payments API focused on stablecoin remittance (USDT, USDC) and mobile-money integration (M-Pesa, MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money). Founded 2016 in Nigeria; HQ now Atlanta with operations across Africa. Series C funded 2024; no banking licence but compliant with national regulators in each market.
- Strongest pan-African footprint of any crypto operator
- Mobile-money integration enables crypto access in markets with limited bank coverage
- Stablecoin remittance materially cheaper than traditional remittance corridors (typically 1-2% vs 5-8% for traditional)
- B2B Payments API used by major African businesses + remittance partners
- No banking licence — operates as a registered money-service / payment-service business under national frameworks
- No deposit-insurance scheme covers customer balances
- Coin selection focused on stablecoins + BTC/ETH; narrow vs major exchanges
- Yield products limited; not a savings/lending platform
