🚀Paymentology x Mastercard Partnership 🚀 We're excited to announce that we are deepening our collaboration with Mastercard to drive financial inclusion in South Africa. With fintechs contributing 40% of Africa’s total fintech revenue, the sector is booming. But scaling efficiently—especially when it comes to issuing cards and expanding financial access—remains a challenge. That’s why this collaboration is making it easier for fintechs in South Africa to: 💳Launch card programmes faster – reducing complexity and accelerating go-to-market timelines. 📲Expand financial access – bringing digital payments to underserved communities. ✔️Navigate regulations seamlessly – ensuring compliance while focusing on innovation. 📈Scale with cloud-based technology – offering flexibility, security, and real-time insights. By combining Mastercard’s global network with Paymentology’s next-generation issuer processing technology, fintechs can now issue cards with speed, security, and efficiency—helping South Africa move closer to its goal of 90% financial inclusion by 2030. Gabriel Swanepoel, Country Manager at Mastercard Southern Africa, said: “Our collaboration with Paymentology continues to evolve, driven by a shared vision of fostering an inclusive economy. We are committed to equipping fintech companies with market-relevant solutions that enable them to scale effectively. Together, we are simplifying card issuance and creating new pathways for financial access for the underserved populations in South Africa.” The future of fintech in South Africa is digital, scalable, and inclusive—and this partnership is here to make it happen. 👉Read more - https://lnkd.in/dmDv8FaG Julian Nariansamy Anna Porra Drisha Kirkman Richard Jansen Van Vuuren Preshen Ramsaroop (MBA) #Fintech #FinancialInclusion #DigitalPayments #SouthAfrica #Innovation
