NEW YORK, September 22, 2026 — YELL, the payments platform for consumers and small businesses, today announced the appointment of Raphael Blunschi as Chief Executive Officer. Blunschi takes the helm as YELL scales into an everyday financial app for consumers and business owners, as the company surpasses 27,000 customers as of September 2026.

Blunschi brings more than 30 years in financial services across Swiss banking, institutional asset management, and digital assets. He was a founding member of UBS’s prime brokerage business, and at RMF/Man Group he architected a pioneering multi-billion-dollar global managed account platform that made opaque hedge fund exposures transparent and institutionally scalable. He spent 13 years at K2 Advisors, a Franklin Templeton investment company, latterly as Chief Administrative Officer and Executive Committee member and fund board director for eight private funds.

Blunschi also co-founded 47 Degrees North Capital Management, an institutional alternatives manager that raised $100 million from CalPERS, and INCOS, a generative-AI venture serving financial institutions. Most recently, he advised Swiss blockchain company S-PRO on its U.S. market entry. He served in the Swiss Army Special Forces and is a CFA charterholder and Professional Risk Manager (PRM).

“Consumers manage money across too many apps, and business owners give up too much of every sale to payment costs. YELL brings both into one place, and keeps it simple,” said Blunschi. “I have spent my career building financial infrastructure that turns complexity into scale – exactly what YELL’s next phase requires. I am honored to lead this team as we build the everyday financial app for consumers and business owners.”

Under Blunschi’s leadership, YELL will focus on scaling the platform for consumers and business owners, while continuing to offer eligible businesses a lower-cost alternative to many traditional payment processors.

NEW YORK, August 19 2026 — YELL, the payments platform for consumers and small businesses, has surpassed 25,000 customers. YELL reached the milestone ahead of internal projections as new-user acquisition grew by 189% month over month (MOM) in April 2026, followed by a further MOM increase of 66% in May.

YELL’s mission is to give consumers and businesses more control over their money, so they can move funds faster, make smarter financial decisions, and get more out of everyday life.

The milestone comes as consumers look for simpler ways to manage money across accounts, while small businesses search for faster payment options and lower payment processing costs. Consumer finances are often spread across apps, cards, and accounts, making it harder to see the full picture or move money when needed. YELL helps bring the scattered, multi-app approach to personal finance into one dashboard. Customers can link eligible accounts and cards, view information in one place, consolidate funds, and move money when available.

For small businesses, timely access to funds and affordable payment processing can support cash flow and growth. YELL offers eligible businesses a lower-cost alternative to many traditional payment processors, with transaction fees approximately 50% lower than certain widely used providers and tools to manage sales, invoices, and cash flow without requiring businesses to replace existing point-of-sale infrastructure.

Crossing the 25,000-customer mark reflects growing demand for payment solutions that simplify money management for consumers while helping businesses manage costs and access funds.
