Yellow Card, a leading global stablecoin infrastructure provider, took home the Gold award in the Diamond category at the 2026 Money Awards, held on Sunday, 18 October, in Las Vegas as part of Money20/20 USA.
The Diamond category is the programme’s highest honour, celebrating the most transformative achievement in global fintech. Yellow Card’s victory follows its Grand Prix win in the Payments category the previous year.
Chris Maurice, CEO and Co‑Founder, reflected on the company’s journey: “When we started the business almost ten years ago, we had big ambitions, but we couldn’t have imagined just how far this journey would take us.” He added, “This year, we made bold decisions to take what we’d built in emerging markets and expand our vision globally. Today, we’re working alongside some of the world’s largest corporate and financial institutions. To receive this recognition, particularly at this stage of our journey, is incredibly meaningful. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved and grateful to the entire team for making it possible.”
The award comes after a defining year for Yellow Card. In June, the company was named to Fortune’s inaugural Crypto Innovators list and secured $40 million in strategic funding. It expanded its footprint across Latin America, Asia‑Pacific and North America, secured AML regulatory affiliation in Switzerland, and launched Global Accounts, allowing businesses to open named USD, GBP and EUR accounts and connect to local payment rails in more than 190 countries through a single API or its Treasury Portal.
Justin Poiroux, CTO and Co‑Founder, said the recognition celebrates the technology and people behind the company’s growth: “You spend years with your head down, solving complex challenges and building technology that makes moving money across borders simpler. Then you see that technology making a real difference for businesses around the world, and you realise the impact of what you’ve built. To have that work recognised on a global stage, for the second year running, is incredibly rewarding. It’s a proud moment for the entire team.”
Yellow Card’s second consecutive Money Awards win underscores its growing influence in global financial services as it continues to expand its international presence and build the stablecoin infrastructure that connects businesses and financial institutions across markets.
