Crypto Firm Takes Diamond at 2026 Money Awards

Crypto firm, Yellow Card, has won Gold in the prestigious Diamond category at the 2026 Money Awards.

Presented in Las Vegas during Money20/20 USA on Sunday, 18 October, the accolade marks its second consecutive year of recognition at the event, following its 2025 Grand Prix win in Payments.

“When we started the business almost ten years ago, we had big ambitions, but we couldn’t have imagined just how far this journey would take us,” said Chris Maurice, CEO and Co-Founder of Yellow Card.

The award is part of Money20/20 USA, which describes the Diamond category as the highest honor, celebrating the most transformative achievement in global fintech.

“This year, we made bold decisions to take what we’d built in emerging markets and expand our vision globally,” Maurice says.

“To receive this recognition, particularly at this stage of our journey, is incredibly meaningful. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved and grateful to the entire team for making it possible.”

Award follows a defining year for Yellow Card. In June, the company was named to Fortune’s inaugural Crypto Innovators list. It subsequently secured $40 million in strategic funding, expanded its footprint across Latin America, Asia-Pacific and North America, and secured AML regulatory affiliation in Switzerland.

The company also launched Global Accounts, enabling businesses to open named USD, GBP and EUR accounts and connect to local payment rails in more than 190 countries through a single API or its Treasury Portal.

For Justin Poiroux, CTO and Co-Founder, the recognition is also a celebration of the technology and people behind the company’s growth.

“You spend years with your head down, solving complex challenges and building technology that makes moving money across borders simpler. Then you see that technology making a real difference for businesses around the world, and you realize the impact of what you’ve built. To have that work recognized on a global stage, for the second year running, is incredibly rewarding. It’s a proud moment for the entire team.”
