Ngozi Megwa, Senior Vice President of Digital Partners and Enablers for Mastercard in Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EEMEA), highlights the company’s commitment to building relationships with digital partners. This collaborative approach involves leveraging Mastercard’s capabilities, infrastructure, and assets to empower partners, accelerate innovation, and drive societal impact in digital payments.

In a region with a growing fintech industry, Mastercard plays a crucial role in providing support to foster collaboration and drive impactful solutions in the digital economy.
