MasterCard Launches “FinTech Express” in Asia-Pacific Region

FinTech Express

MasterCard has announced its new “FinTech Express,” which targets the Asia-Pacific region. During the Singapore FinTech Festival, MasterCard Asia Pacific Co-President, Ari Sarker, had an interview with Bloomberg in which he discussed the new platform. The official also touched on MasterCard’s withdrawal from the Libra Association.

According to Sarker, the FinTech Express initiative is meant to expand MasterCard’s scope for FinTech partnership. He described MasterCard as a suitable facilitator for all players whether they are in FinTech or traditional banking sectors. The FinTech Express is designed to speed up the way MasterCard welcomes FinTech firms to its worldwide platform.

Tangible Examples

Sarker went on to give tangible examples of what MasterCard is targeting with the FinTech Express model. He explained that the company was looking for FinTechs with its capability, rules, platforms, and licensing process. Essentially, the global payment platform has updated the onboarding process for FinTech firms that would like to use its services.

The idea is hardly “expanding the reach for FinTech partnership” but a major improvement in the way MasterCard will deliver its services to companies in the sector. Sarker explained that the new model would enable several services in a fraction of the time taken by traditional firms.

Asked why MasterCard is launching this just now when the need for efficiency has always existed, Sarker said that the company was prompted partly by the availability of technology and partly by the need to compete effectively with its peers in the same sector.

While he hinted at some parts of MasterCard’s business being obsolete in ten years, Sarker refused to be drawn into the specifics. Instead, he focused on staying lively and responding to changes.

MasterCard’s Pullout From Libra Association

During the interview, Sarker also touched on MasterCard’s withdrawal from the Libra Association. He stated that the collaboration was initiated because MasterCard identified its commitments as a controlled payment framework. Initially, the association would give it the opportunity to shape some of the discussions. However, according to the official, MasterCard withdrew because it felt that the association was not adhering to some basic core principles.
