Mastercard Lighthouse FINITIV is a technology-first company built around a strong network of partners to foster symbiotic growth between banks, fintechs, and Mastercard.
This fall, the program’s key trend is “smarter payments”. Many of the program’s 15 admitted startups are focused on enhancing payment transactions through smart solutions, loyalty, transaction monitoring and fraud prevention.
The program takes place in partnership with major banks in Sweden, Finland and Latvia, and the company with the most remarkable improvement will be declared the program winner.
And YES! We are excited to announce that we’ve made the cut, and we’re participating in the Fall22 cohort Mastercard Lighthouse FINITIV program. It was a competitive process, so we’re really pleased to join with 14 other Fintechs from the Nordics and Baltics.
Mats Taraldsson, the Head of Innovation, Fintech and Impact Tech Engagement at Mastercard Nordics and Baltics, said:
"...It was a tough decision to select 15 companies among all the applicants, but we are excited to start working together with some of the most promising fintechs of the region this spring. This time the majority of companies are within payments vertical and we can't wait to explore what partnerships could come out of this program.”
Speaking on this, Raiha Buchanan, the CEO, and Co-founder of Gigapay commented:
“We’re so honored to be selected for the program. I know the competition was tough!”
Together, we make getting paid hassle-free!
