We’ve gained so much during the three-month program; insights, partnerships, mentorship and amazing new friends” “Being honored as the Mastercard Lighthouse FINITIV winner is a testament to Fideum’s vision of bridging the gap between traditional finance and the burgeoning digital asset market. Mastercard’s recognition highlights the critical need for innovative solutions that Fideum addresses – creating a seamless, regulated pathway for institutions to engage with digital assets. This win is a nod to our foresight in solving real market challenges and Mastercard’s alignment with our goal to transform the financial sector.” “It’s a huge honor and pleasure to be awarded as the Mastercard Lighthouse FINITIV winner. The program has been extremely valuable for Avallone in terms of conversations with large tier-1 banks as partners and it has emphasized the importance of finding more innovative solutions to increase transparency between enterprises – especially related to Know Your Customer data from funds, corporates, and NGOs towards financial institutions. Being a start-up is a mix of pain, uncertainty, and constant work, so awards and recognitions like the Mastercard Lighthouse FINITIV is a very welcome energy booster to the entire team” “The recognition that comes as a part of this win is of utmost importance for our team and partners working to open up access to capital for SMEs across Europe and beyond. Doing well by doing good is at the heart of our agenda. The Softloans embedded financing solution helps everyone in the ecosystem grow: SMEs, our Partners, and us. To accelerate the impact of our solution and help SMEs grow we are actively looking to build new partnerships in the region. Now is the time to join us in changing how SMEs access capital.” “The Mastercard Lighthouse program is one of DNB’s most important channels for meeting fintech’s across the Nordics and Baltics. We are impressed by the strength of the companies selected over several years and have full trust in the credibility of the program. As a banking partner, we look forward to exploring synergies and bringing more value to our clients through collaborations with innovative fintech’s. In the past programs we have seen how these collaborations can bring new perspectives, expertise, and technologies that can enhance our offerings and ultimately benefit our clients” “We are looking forward to meeting the teams behind the tools and services that were presented to us. The workshops with the Mastercard Lighthouse program participants are allowing to scratch through the surface of the pitch decks and finding those mutually beneficial partnerships opportunities.” “Our team is looking forward to meeting new fintechs for the main purpose of exploring synergies and bringing even more value to our existing and future clients across segments.
