Onramper has partnered with Yellow Card, a stablecoin on- and off-ramp in Africa, to improve fiat-to-crypto onboarding throughout the continent.

Through this collaboration, Onramper will incorporate Yellow Card’s on- and off-ramp services into its aggregation platform.

Yellow Card emerged as one of Africa's fastest-growing fintech companies. It is operational in 20 countries, serving over 1.7 million retail customers. It offers secure and affordable options for buying and selling USDT, USDC, and PYUSD using local currency, along with its Payments API.

Onramper is set to incorporate three local payment methods from Yellow Card into its expanding portfolio. This upgrade will facilitate the purchase of stablecoins (and other cryptocurrencies) across 20 African nations using local mobile money, bank transfers, and instant peer-to-peer bank transfers.

Nigeria has secured the second position in the Chainalysis 2024 Global Crypto Adoption Index, a report that highlights countries at the forefront of grassroots cryptocurrency adoption.  Through Onramper's collaboration with Yellow Card, Nigerian users of all of Onramper's clients can now access cryptocurrency.

Onramper officials stated that Nigeria represents an important market for numerous digital wallets, boasting a large user base eager to enter the crypto ecosystem. Its collaboration with Yellow Card will upgrade crypto accessibility, tailoring it to users in Nigeria and throughout Africa.
