VEON, a global provider of connectivity and digital services, and Mastercard have announced a strategic partnership to boost digital financial services in key markets.
This collaboration will allow VEON to further scale its digital financial services business by offering consumers and merchants products tailored to their needs. By working together, the companies will support the financial and digital inclusion of traditionally underserved consumers in each geography.
The partnership is an expansion of the relationship between the two companies that began in May 2020 when Mastercard partnered with Mobilink Microfinance Bank Limited, VEON’s financial services provider in Pakistan, to boost financial inclusion across that fast-growing nation.
We’ve reported that Mastercard announced its partnership with Sokin, a UK-based fintech payment company. The two firms have collaborated to increase fixed-price remittance services as well as affordable currency exchange in Sri Lanka, Nepal, India, Bangladesh, and the Maldives.
