About us
Yellow Card is the largest and first licensed stablecoin-based infrastructure provider, operating in 20 African countries and the emerging markets. Our mission is to empower businesses of all sizes, making it easier for them to make international payments, protect their financial assets, manage their treasury function, and access hard currency liquidity.
We are creating “financial infrastructure that works” disrupting the financial services industry by offering innovative solutions designed to meet the distinct needs of – and real-world challenges faced on a daily basis by – our customers. Leveraging the power of stablecoins pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar (e.g. USDC, USDT, and PYUSD), we deliver our innovative solutions through our commercial trading function, our B2B products (i.e. our Payments API and “widget”), and our retail and small business platform.
This role is focused on ensuring all newly opened bank accounts across the Yellow Card ecosystem are tested, verified, and fully operationalised before they go live. The successful candidate will act as a project manager — coordinating with internal stakeholders, tracking progress across multiple testing stages, and ensuring all technical and operational steps are completed. You will own the bank account activation process end-to-end, maintaining checklists, performing validation tests (such as inbound/outbound payments and FX conversions), and ensuring readiness for production use. Attention to detail, structured thinking, and strong communication skills are key to succeeding in this role.
