## Content

## In Short
The Global Onchain Awards 2026 named Yellow Card as Best Cross-Border PayFi and Remittance Solution. The awards drew 30,000+ votes and were held in Singapore.

## What Happened
[Yellow Card](/yellow-card) was announced as the winner for Best Cross-Border PayFi and Remittance Solution at the Global Onchain Awards 2026.

The awards were organised by CoinGape Media alongside the Global Onchain Summit 2026. The ceremony took place on October 6 in Singapore, at Pullman Singapore Hill Street.

CoinGape said the awards received more than 30,000 votes and featured over 50 nominees across 12 categories. Other categories covered areas like stablecoin payment infrastructure, compliance tools, tokenised real-world asset platforms, and institutional crypto trading.

“PayFi” is shorthand for payment finance, which usually means payment flows built with digital assets, including stablecoins (crypto tokens designed to track the value of fiat currencies like the US dollar). In practice, these tools are often used for cross-border payments and remittances, especially where local banking rails are slow or expensive.

## Why It Matters
For African fintech and crypto operators, awards are not the same as regulatory approvals or audited performance. Still, category wins can help a payments brand build trust with partners, including banks, merchants, and compliance teams.

It also reflects a wider shift in the crypto sector toward practical infrastructure. That includes stablecoin rails, on and off ramps, and regulated compliance tooling, rather than only spot trading.

For Yellow Card, the recognition puts more attention on cross-border remittances, one of the biggest payment use cases tied to Africa’s diaspora flows and multi-currency demand.
