Alchemy Pay has announced a strategic partnership with Yellow Card, a fintech company operating across 20 African countries. This collaboration aims to simplify access to cryptocurrency for people in Africa, utilizing familiar payment methods such as bank transfers and mobile money.
Empowering African Users with Easy Crypto Access
The partnership will facilitate easier cryptocurrency purchases for users in countries like South Africa, Rwanda, and Uganda, allowing them to use their local currencies. This move is expected to significantly enhance financial inclusion and provide new financial opportunities for millions of people in these regions.
Recent Integrations and Enhancements
