The payments giant has picked the UAE's Dapi, Indonesia's Finantier, the UK's mmob, Nigeria's Mono, and American outfit Paywallet to join the three month programme.
Participants will get access to Mastercard's expertise and insights, interacting with the company's open banking subsidiaries Finicity and Aiia.
