As a technology-first company built around a strong network of partners, Mastercard understands how important partnerships are for growth. By building Lighthouse FINITIV, Mastercard seeks to put their partnership values into practice. Pairing the energy and innovation of fintechs and fintech-enablers with the stability and distribution at large corporates, we believe we can strengthen the entire ecosystem, increasing the size of the industry we all share

Why Lighthouse
“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”
Anders Meinert Jorgensen, co-founder and CEO and Martin Albertsen, co-founder and CTO
