Our vision & mission

To provide financial inclusion for all

We believe in enabling you to take back control of your money, and we work tirelessly to ensure global financial freedom across Africa, with easy access to cryptocurrency. We always put YOU first, and we believe strongly in providing equality of opportunity for anyone, anywhere.

About Yellow Card

We’re the largest and first licensed Stablecoin on/off ramp in Africa. We provide secure and cost-effective methods to buy and sell USDT, USDC, and PYUSD via your local currency directly, and through our Payments API.

In 2018 Chris Maurice (CEO) and Justin Poiroux (CTO) met a man who sent $200 from America to his family in Nigeria. The bank charged $90.

In 2019 Yellow Card launched in Nigeria with the objective “basic financial services for all”, soon expanding to 20 African countries.
