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 seek to put their partnership values into practice. Pairing the energy and innovation of fintechs 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.
“Lighthouse FINITIV has given us the opportunity to meet potential partners, network with industry players, and become inspired by other exciting fintech products. Further, the acknowledgment that Mastercard and Lighthouse FINITIV bring is a valuable asset for any startup. Making it all the way to the finals has enabled us to pitch our solution to experts in banks and have received positive feedback,”
– Jarkko Anttiroiko, Enterpay, CEO
