Yellow Card, a global stablecoin infrastructure provider with operations in Nigeria, has launched Global Accounts, a new service designed to help businesses receive, hold and move money across international markets through a single platform.

The offering allows businesses to open named US dollar, British pound and euro accounts through Yellow Card’s banking partners, while giving them access to international payment rails including ACH, SWIFT and Fedwire.

Businesses can also access local payment rails supporting more than 50 currencies across over 190 countries, according to the company.

The launch is aimed at addressing one of the persistent challenges facing businesses operating internationally: managing multiple banking relationships, currencies and payment systems as they expand into different markets.

Rather than establishing separate financial arrangements in every country, Yellow Card said businesses can manage their global accounts through a single application programming interface (API) or its Treasury Portal.

Moving Beyond Traditional Cross-Border Payments

Yellow Card’s latest offering extends its role beyond providing digital asset infrastructure into a broader layer for global business payments and treasury management.

For platforms that require additional regulatory coverage, the company said Global Accounts also supports managed bank account structures.

Under this arrangement, eligible platforms can issue named accounts directly to their end customers, potentially allowing fintechs and other digital businesses to build international payment capabilities into their own products.

“Businesses shouldn’t need a new banking relationship every time they enter a new market,” said Chris Maurice, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Yellow Card.

“Global Accounts changes that. We’re giving businesses one infrastructure layer to move, manage and access money across markets, without rebuilding their financial operations country by country.”

Maurice said the development was aimed at making global money movement as simple as operating locally.

$10bn In Transaction Volume

The launch builds on Yellow Card’s existing payments infrastructure, which the company said has processed more than $10 billion in transaction volume.

Yellow Card currently operates under nine active licences and registrations globally, according to the company.

Its infrastructure enables banks, fintechs and multinational businesses to access US dollars, manage treasury operations and move money across borders.

The company supports more than 50 currencies and counts global companies including Visa and Western Union among its customers.

What It Means For Businesses

For businesses operating across African and international markets, cross-border payments can involve multiple intermediaries, foreign exchange considerations, compliance requirements and banking relationships.

These challenges can become more pronounced as companies expand into new markets and need to pay overseas suppliers, receive international customer payments or manage funds across different jurisdictions.

Yellow Card is positioning Global Accounts as an infrastructure layer that can simplify these processes by bringing different payment rails and currencies together on one platform.

The development also reflects the growing push by fintech infrastructure providers to make international financial services more accessible to businesses without requiring them to build direct banking relationships in every market.

As cross-border commerce continues to expand, access to multi-currency accounts and payment infrastructure is becoming increasingly important for businesses operating beyond their home markets.

With Global Accounts, Yellow Card is seeking to position itself as part of that infrastructure, connecting businesses to local and international payment systems through a single technology platform.
