Mastercard Lighthouse FINITIV gives fintech startup companies the opportunity to build partnerships with established banks in the Nordics and Baltics. When this year’s program starts in August, Resurs is one of the partners that the 15 startups will meet.

The purpose of Mastercard Lighthouse FINITIV is to create collaboration opportunities and explore potential partnerships between the fintech companies and the participating banks. The program is one of the ways that Mastercard scouts for new technology partnerships for itself and its partners, the banks. Through partnering with innovative technology companies, the ambition is to further strengthen the financial ecosystem in Nordics and Baltics and continue to lead in digital solutions. 

For Resurs, this means an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of future payment and banking solutions together with innovative fintech companies. Resurs and Mastercard are already close partners, and given Resurs’ Nordic presence, the FINITIV program is an exciting opportunity and perfect match
