Our commitment to gender balance

For millions of women, digital inclusion is a critical step in strengthening their economic potential. In a year when the health and economic implications of COVID-19 were felt by so many, women specifically have been disproportionally impacted.

As part of International Women’s Day, Mastercard continues its mission to support future women in technology and their entrepreneurial success by educating the next generation of leaders with its Girls4Tech program and providing digital and financial security tools to women-owned businesses across the region.

4Told FinTech is working with Start Path, Mastercard’s startup engagement program, to give borrowers a special credit card to help control the risk of the loan in the value chain ecosystem.

For women and girls to develop their full potential, there must be a change of mentality and concrete programs that support their initiatives.
