Mastercard empowers open banking startups to scale and expand consumer choice

Published: 15 June 2023

Five open banking startups from around the world join new Start Path Open Banking programme to access resources, expertise and tools to grow

Mastercard has launched the Start Path Open Banking global programme to engage open banking startups on their path to scale, uncover unique opportunities to co-innovate and power experiences that enable consumer choice. The companies handpicked for this inaugural class - Dapi, Finantier, mmob, Mono and Paywallet - demonstrate strong synergies with Mastercard’s tech-driven approach and are committed to putting consumers and small businesses at the centre of where and how their financial data is used to further access services they want and need.

During the three-month programme, startups will have an opportunity to leverage Mastercard’s open banking expertise and market insights and learn more about the company’s open banking platforms through wholly-owned subsidiaries Finicity and Aiia.

“Open banking is a natural progression of how Mastercard has always embraced innovation and consumer trust with equal measure and how we’ve remained a trusted partner for our customers. We are thrilled to launch the Start Path Open Banking programme and welcome five high-growth startups from around the world to collaborate with us and accelerate open banking innovation.”
