Mastercard Expands Product Express to Accelerate Fintech Card Programs in New Global Markets

Mastercard has announced the expansion of its Product Express platform in Africa and Middle East, Europe, North America, and more markets in Latin America to help fintechs launch card programs quickly and through a process that’s simple and transparent.

Mastercard Product Express is designed for fintechs, enabling the innovation necessary to meet their customer needs, and helping reduce their time to market by providing them with the tools, resources and partners required to launch and scale.

Through the platform, fintechs can easily select the product that best meets their needs, choose plan-certified partners ready to implement, e.g. with live BINs and pre-approved card designs, and the ability to track progress in full transparency across all steps to be completed by all parties. This allows them to drastically reduce the time to market with the platform providing a way for fintechs to launch card programs in as fast as 15 days.

We are thrilled to be expanding the reach of the Product Express to more partners, more regions and more solutions. By creating a better experience for all parties, we foster innovation and reduce time to market.
