Senior Accountant – Banking

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 significant because of the sensitivity of information being dealt with as well as the level of attention to detail required for this role. The reconciliation of Bank accounts and facilitation of payments is a part of the treasury function; and is one that is performed to ensure the company’s financial health. This is done by ensuring the completion of fast and accurate payments for the Treasury and Commercial teams. The Treasury Accountant is responsible for providing efficient and effective high-quality banking and payment services, which requires you to carefully review each transaction to ensure that it meets all the company’s requirements. This requires excellent attention to detail. It also requires continued communication with our partners as well as following up on outstanding, pending, or disputed transactions. This exciting and challenging position involves extensive collaboration with the Commercial and Finance teams as well as other key stakeholders in the business.
