During the launch of the initiative, Mastercard highlighted progress to date on its Call to Action commitment to include five million people in northern Central America into the financial system and digitalise one million micro and small businesses, leveraging its insights, innovation, and technology to improve access to vital services and drive inclusive economic growth.
This initiative will centre on enabling individuals and businesses to pay and get paid digitally, securely, and efficiently. It will also include reaching previously underserved communities with digital tools to transact, get access to credit, and develop a credit history. With access to financial and digital tools, and the ability to use them, the initiative helps close the digital divide and improve livelihoods for generations to come.
