The stablecoin platform focused on Africa just joined forces with Lightspark to integrate Universal Money Addresses into its services.

This partnership wants to revolutionize how businesses and consumers in 20 African countries handle cross-border payments.

Connecting African businesses to the UMA network

Thanks to this collaboration, Yellow Card is set to provide fast and accessible cross-border payments in both crypto and fiat currencies, and by making UMA available, they’re opening the door for African businesses and consumers to connect with millions of other companies worldwide.

Yellow Card has been on a roll this year, and this new feature is another big deal.
