Crypto firm snags ‘fintech advance’ award

Digital currency company, Yellow Card, has been named winner of the 2026 Fintech ADVANCE Award for Digital Assets by the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG).

Other companies feted during the event, which took place at Fintech South in Atlanta, were Vertice AI in the AI category, VIVA Finance in the Credit category, and Rainforest in the Payments category.

The award honours organizations driving innovation across the financial services industry, spotlighting companies whose technology and infrastructure are changing how money moves.

“This award is not only a milestone, but it also says something bigger about where the industry is going.,” John Colson, Chief Marketing Officer of Yellow Card, said.

Colson added: “In 2018, we came to Fintech South for the first time as a startup, and they gave us a booth. Accepting this award all these years later is a full-circle moment.”

Yellow Card was founded in 2016, and is typically focused on building a digital financial layer that connects businesses to the rest of the world.

Its star shines further, with this year alone, featuring on the inaugural Fortune Crypto Innovators list.

This year, the company has launched $40M fundraiser to scale Global USD Accounts, in a move it describes as “an end-to-end dollar account” for businesses.

“Stablecoins are no longer a debatable alternative for payments. They are a critical tool for global businesses that need to move money and stay competitive,” said Colson.

Yellow Card is a global digital infrastructure provider, that enables banks, fintechs, and multinational businesses to access US dollars, manage treasury, and move money across borders.
