Looking for a Yellow Card alternative?
Yellow Card closed its consumer app to focus on business customers. If you used it to cash out crypto to naira, Pyker is built for exactly that, for everyday users.
Yellow Card tells retail users its consumer app is closing.
Public reporting, checked October 2026What happened to Yellow Card's app
On 29 October 2025, Yellow Card told retail users it would discontinue its consumer app, and asked them to withdraw their funds before 31 December. From 1 January 2026, the company focused on stablecoin services for businesses.
Yellow Card is still operating, but as a business-to-business provider. For individuals who want to sell crypto for naira, that means finding a consumer app instead.
