To help businesses evolve and supercharge their growth enterprise-wide, Mastercard today announced that it is expanding its preeminent payments-focused consulting service with new practices dedicated to Open Banking, Open Data, Crypto &amp; Digital Currencies, and Environment, Social &amp; Governance (ESG).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more than two decades, consulting has been a key part of Mastercard\u2019s customer engagements, whether designing multi-rail payments strategies or advising on data governance opportunities.

To help businesses maximize open banking, our consultants use data-driven insights, advisory and product development services, in alignment with Mastercard\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/urldefense.com\/v3\/__https:\/www.mastercard.us\/en-us\/vision\/corp-responsibility\/data-responsibility.html__;!!N96JrnIq8IfO5w!wmd5mSA5Vf-OelL6-m1hMMgozDdvAMSr3Ht-FRT04bm1UMzCw0iEoSnWJLadV5nd28PU$\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Data Responsibility Principles<\/a>. We recently worked with a major Eastern European banking group looking to provide new services to its consumers. Our team helped them prioritize and prototype a multi-banking app that allows users to conveniently manage their accounts from different banks. The app is now live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Helping Banks Navigate the Adoption of Digital Currencies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mastercard\u2019s consulting efforts with banks and merchants cover a range of digital currency capabilities, from early-stage education, risk assessments and bank-wide crypto and NFT strategy development to crypto cards and the design of crypto loyalty programs. Mastercard has curated partnerships with digitally native firms that offer best-of-breed solutions in cryptocurrencies, and has helped fintechs expand into new markets, working through go-to-market planning and commercialization strategies. For instance, one focus is helping central banks explore the design and deployment of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) using Mastercard\u2019s testing platform, allowing them to research various scenarios before deployment, and drawing on deep expertise around payment systems, policy and regulation, and governance.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Putting Purpose into Practice&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consumers are more socially and environmentally conscious of the products and brands they interact with than ever before. Mastercard\u2019s consultants are helping clients better understand what that means for their businesses, and then transform these insights into actionable strategies that bridge purpose and profit. For example, Mastercard and a leading bank in Latin America joined forces with cardholders to combat climate change. The collaborative approach designed by Mastercard empowered consumers to make a positive impact on the planet by restoring forests through the Priceless Planet Coalition, while also driving card usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More information on Mastercard consulting practices, as well as the practice leaders, can be found at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/urldefense.com\/v3\/__http:\/www.mastercardservices.com__;!!N96JrnIq8IfO5w!wmd5mSA5Vf-OelL6-m1hMMgozDdvAMSr3Ht-FRT04bm1UMzCw0iEoSnWJLadV4xEhnVQ$\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.mastercardservices.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Riyadh, KSA; 17 February 2022:&nbsp;The business world is facing an influx of innovation: changing consumer preferences, rapid digital transformation and geopolitical shifts.
