Yellow Card Partners with Onramper
Onramper today announced a partnership with Yellow Card, Africa's leading stablecoin on- and off- ramp, to enhance fiat-to-crypto onboarding across the continent.
November 26, 2024 – Onramper today announced a partnership with Yellow Card, Africa's leading stablecoin on- and off- ramp, to enhance fiat-to-crypto onboarding across the continent. As part of the collaboration, Onramper will integrate Yellow Card’s on- and off-ramps into its aggregation offering.
Yellow Card launched in Nigeria in 2019 and has quickly become one of Africa's fastest-growing fintechs, now present in 20 countries with over 1.7 million retail customers. It is the first and largest licensed stablecoin on- and off-ramp on the African continent, providing secure and cost-effective methods to buy and sell USDT, USDC, and PYUSD via local currency and its Payments API.
Onramper will add three of Yellow Card’s local payment methods to its growing stack, enabling the purchase of stablecoins (and other coins) in 20 African countries using local mobile money, bank transfers, and instant peer to peer bank transfers.
Notably, Nigeria ranked #2 in the Chainalysis 2024 Global Crypto Adoption Index, a report identifying countries leading the world in grassroots crypto adoption. Through Onramper’s partnership with Yellow Card, Nigerian users of all of Onramper’s clients can now easily access crypto.
“Nigeria is a key market for many digital wallets, with a large user base that seeks to onboard into the crypto ecosystem,” said Thijs Maas, CEO of Onramper. “Our work with Yellow Card will improve access to crypto, making it more localized for users in Nigeria and across Africa as a whole.”
Onramper’s industry-leading on-ramp aggregator enables users to purchase crypto across 190+ countries and 130+ local payment methods. This extensive geographic coverage is complemented by sophisticated routing engines that recommend the best conversion for users in real-time — maximizing the odds of a successful transaction and ensuring that users receive the most crypto for their fiat.
“As we continue to drive financial inclusion across Africa, our partnership with Onramper marks a pivotal step toward making digital assets more accessible and user-friendly. This collaboration is more than just a technological integration—it’s a pathway to economic resilience and a step forward in empowering Africans to take control of their financial futures.” — Gillian Darko, Chief of Staff and Director of Strategy at Yellow Card
With the addition of Yellow Card, Onramper boasts an impressive lineup of 27 on-ramps for the best crypto experience around the world.

Onramper Launches Chrome Extension to Compare Crypto Quotes From 30+ Providers Without Leaving the Page
Install in one click and see live quotes side by side in the browser’s side panel, with no analytics or tracking
Amsterdam, October 22, 2026 — Onramper, the fiat-to-crypto onramp aggregator, today launched a Chrome extension that puts crypto buying, selling and swapping in the browser’s side panel, so users can transact while staying on the page they’re already reading. The extension is available now on the Chrome Web Store.
Buying crypto usually means leaving the webpage you are on. People spot a token or an idea, then have to open a new tab and check provider after provider. The Onramper Chrome extension keeps those comparisons in the Chrome Side Panel. Users can see live quotes from over thirty licensed providers in one place, pick the option that suits them and check out. The panel stays open while they browse, so there are fewer steps between spotting something and buying it.
“Crypto has treated the on-ramp as a destination: a separate site, a separate tab, a separate decision. As the industry matures, buying has to happen where people already are, and with more providers and payment methods in every market, comparing them should not be a research project,” said Rick Thomas, Co-CEO of Onramper. “Putting that choice in the browser is how we make a fragmented market simpler to use.”
The Onramper extension is private by default, containing no analytics or tracking. Settings and saved wallets stay in the user’s browser, and cross-device sync is off unless the user turns it on. A single control in the settings menu can erase all extension data.
What users can do with the extension
- Buy crypto with cards, bank transfers and local payment methods
- Sell crypto and cash out to a bank account
- Swap tokens by connecting a wallet in a browser tab
- View prices in their local currency, selected automatically, with one-tap amount presets suited to that currency
- Save up to five wallet addresses under recognizable names and copy one at checkout in a click
Onramper compares quotes from licensed providers and routes the user to the one they choose. Onramper and the selected provider handle identity verification and payment at checkout. Onramper offers 170+ local payment methods, and available providers, payment methods and assets vary by country. The Onramper extension is available now for Chrome.
