“We’re excited to work with Fireblocks to enable real-world use cases for stablecoins, solving the complex challenges of international and pan-African transactions. Together, we enhance how businesses around the world manage their treasury, make payments, and drive innovation across Africa,” the CEO said.

Yellow Card touts itself as the largest and first licensed Stablecoin on/off ramp on the African continent. Operating across 20 countries, the digital assets company provides individuals and businesses of all sizes across Africa with secure, liquid, and cost-effective access to USDT, USDC, and PYUSD via their local currency directly and through its Payments API. Thus, the company helps businesses manage their treasury and related transactions within and beyond the continent. 
Fireblocks is an easy-to-use platform with which users can create new blockchain-based products and manage day-to-day digital asset operations. The wallet-as-a-service platform has secured the transfer of over $6 trillion in digital assets. 
Together, both companies are looking to tackle the complex challenges faced by multinational corporate treasuries such as regulatory compliance, currency volatility, and inefficient legacy banking systems.

Speaking about their combined goal, Senior Vice President (SVP) for Payments and Network at Fireblocks, Ran Goldi, noted that much like the rest of the world, Africa has seen a transformative shift from traditional payment methods to alternative payments, driven by new technologies, <a href="https://r.news.africa-wire.com/mk/cl/f/sh/7nVU1aA2ng01QX0P7FIbNzsJnVAKyMF/NLbgWqn4zH9c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">with $100 billion worth of remittances flowing into the continent</a>. He pointed out that despite this, cross-border problems are still problematic on the continent. 
“Cross-border payments are still encumbered by high costs, with low-value cross-border payments incurring steep fees,” said . “We are delighted to be working with Yellow Card to provide our direct custody wallets-as-a-service (WaaS), allowing them to secure their customers’ digital assets at scale,” Goldi said. 
This marks a pivotal moment for both companies as they pave the way for more streamlined and secure financial operations across Africa. With a shared vision of innovation and excellence, Yellow Card and Fireblocks have a common goal of transforming cross-border transactions by introducing new benefits to businesses and the economy through innovation and excellence.
