Yellow Card, a stablecoin infrastructure provider, has won Gold in the Diamond category at the 2026 Money Awards. The award was presented on October 18 in Las Vegas during Money20/20 USA. This marks the company's second consecutive recognition, following its Grand Prix victory in the Payments category in 2025. The Diamond category is the programme's highest honour, recognising the most transformative achievement in global fintech.
The company's CEO and Co-Founder, Chris Maurice, expressed his gratitude and surprise at the journey the company has taken. When Yellow Card started almost ten years ago, it had big ambitions, but the current success was unimaginable. The latest recognition comes after a significant year for Yellow Card, which has expanded beyond its emerging markets operations into Latin America, Asia-Pacific and North America.
Yellow Card has achieved several milestones this year. The company was named to Fortune's inaugural Crypto Innovators list in June and secured $40 million in strategic funding. Additionally, it has strengthened its regulatory position through an anti-money laundering regulatory affiliation in Switzerland. This affiliation enhances the company's credibility and compliance with regulatory requirements.
The company has also expanded its product offering with the launch of Global Accounts. This product allows businesses to open named US dollar, British pound and euro accounts and connect to local payment rails in more than 190 countries through a single application programming interface (API) or its Treasury Portal. This expansion reflects Yellow Card's broader ambition to position its stablecoin infrastructure as a financial services layer for businesses, banks and fintech companies.
Yellow Card's CTO and Co-Founder, Justin Poiroux, highlighted the team's hard work and dedication to building technology that makes moving money across borders simpler. He expressed his satisfaction with seeing the company's technology make a difference for businesses globally and receiving recognition for the second consecutive year. The company's technology supports more than 50 currencies and provides infrastructure for banks, fintechs and multinational businesses.
The company's customers include prominent players such as Visa and Western Union. Yellow Card's infrastructure enables these customers to access US dollars, manage treasury and facilitate cross-border payments. The latest award reinforces the company's growing international ambitions as competition intensifies among financial technology providers building stablecoin-based infrastructure for global payments and corporate treasury management.
The recognition also underscores Yellow Card's commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. As the company continues to expand its operations and product offerings, it is well-positioned to remain a leader in the fintech industry. With its stablecoin infrastructure and Global Accounts product, Yellow Card is poised to make a significant impact on the global financial services landscape.
