Yellow Card has appointed Ross Everett as its new Group Chief Financial Officer (CFO), bringing in a former Monzo finance executive as the African financial infrastructure company expands its global operations.
Everett joins Yellow Card with experience spanning banking, financial services and high-growth technology companies. His career includes roles at Monzo Bank, Deutsche Bank, Barclays and KPMG. At Monzo, he served as Group Financial Controller, overseeing areas including financial reporting, controls and governance.
As CFO, Everett will oversee Yellow Card’s global finance function, with responsibilities covering financial strategy, planning and performance, reporting, treasury, capital management and financial governance.
The appointment comes as Yellow Card continues to scale its stablecoin infrastructure business, which enables businesses to make cross-border payments, manage treasury and access dollar liquidity. The company supports more than 50 currencies and counts firms including Visa and Western Union among its customers.
Everett’s arrival also follows Yellow Card’s recent $40 million strategic funding round. The company said the funding will support its expansion into Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region as it broadens its international footprint.
“Yellow Card has built world-class infrastructure to solve a problem every cross-border business understands, moving money quickly, cheaply and reliably,” Everett said.
He added that his focus would be on building the financial systems and discipline needed to support Yellow Card’s growth while maintaining operational rigour as the company scales.
For Yellow Card, the appointment places a finance executive with experience at both a major digital bank and established financial institutions at the centre of its next phase of expansion.
Co-founder and CEO Chris Maurice said the company needs financial leadership capable of keeping pace as stablecoin infrastructure moves from an emerging use case towards wider adoption.
Everett’s appointment therefore comes at a point when Yellow Card is moving beyond its African roots and positioning its infrastructure for a broader international market.
