What is Mastercard Lighthouse FINITIV?

Mastercard Lighthouse FINITIV is a platform designed to foster collaboration between fintech startups, major banks, and technology firms. It provides participants with access to resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities to help them scale their solutions and drive innovation within the financial services industry. The program focuses on fintech companies addressing key industry challenges, such as security, cost-efficiency, and improving the overall customer experience.
