Yellow Card has secured Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulatory affiliation in Switzerland.
The affiliation positions Yellow Card as a supervised financial intermediary, enabling it to serve banking partners, institutional investors and corporate clients seeking compliant and efficient access to emerging markets through stablecoins.

The move is anchored in the company’s Swiss wholly-owned subsidiary, which now provides a single, regulated point of contact for clients looking to tap into Yellow Card’s stablecoin infrastructure across its global footprint. This includes operations spanning Africa, the United States, Latin America and other high-growth regions.
Chris Maurice, CEO and Co-Founder of Yellow Card, emphasized the growing importance of stablecoins in global finance, noting that compliant access to payment rails is becoming essential for institutions.
“Stablecoins have become critical infrastructure for global institutions, and compliant access to the rails and payments is a requirement for companies looking to utilize this technology,” Maurice said. “Our Swiss subsidiary gives them a regulated, supervised counterparty for accessing our global stablecoin infrastructure.”
Craig Stoehr, General Counsel of Yellow Card, added: “For our banking partners and international clients, the compliance framework is not a formality, but rather a foundation. Switzerland holds financial intermediaries to one of the highest regulatory standards in the world, and our Swiss subsidiary was built to meet these standards. Combined with the licensed infrastructure already in place across our global network, this standard provides our partners a rare combination of regulatory confidence and real operational reach.”
The Swiss expansion adds to Yellow Card’s growing list of regulatory approvals worldwide, including its milestone achievement of securing the first Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license issued in Africa. The company says it will continue pursuing additional licenses and authorizations as it scales globally.
