Now in its fourth year, the program supports women-owned small businesses by providing critical resources to help them scale and succeed. Awarded with a $10,000 grant, access to resources to fuel business growth and a Priceless experience in Toronto offering expert mentorship, community building opportunities, and actionable insights, the initiative is designed to help small businesses build for tomorrow. "As a supporter of small businesses in Canada, Mastercard understands that success is not built alone — it's fueled by strong networks, shared ambition and a community that lifts one another up," said Nishant Raina, Vice President, Small and Medium Enterprises, Mastercard, Canada.

Mastercard dévoile la nouvelle cohorte de lauréates de sa Subvention pour petites entreprisesJune 16, 2026 4:10 PM
PR Newswire (Canada) Dix petites entreprises dirigées par des femmes reçoivent chacune une subvention de 10 000 $, du mentorat et des ressources visant à soutenir la réussite de leurs affairesTORONTO, le 16 juin 2026 /CNW/ - Mastercard a annoncé aujourd'hui la liste des toutes récentes récipiendaires de la Subvention pour petites entreprises Mastercard. Ce programme, qui en est désormais à sa quatrième année, vient en aide aux petites entreprises dirigées par des femmes en leur fournissant des ressources essentielles pour les aider à évoluer et à prospérer. Dotée d'une subvention de 10 000 $, d'un accès à des ressources destinées à stimuler la croissance des entreprises et d'une expérience inestimable à Toronto proposant un encadrement par des experts, des occasions de tisser des liens au sein de la communauté et des conseils concrets, cette initiative a pour but d'aider les petites entreprises à bâtir leur avenir. « En tant que partenaire des petites entreprises au Canada, Mastercard sait que le succès ne se construit pas seul, il repose sur des réseaux solides, une ambition commune et une communauté où les membres s'entraident, affirme Nishant Raina, vice-président, Petites et moyennes entreprises, Mastercard, Canada. Voilà pourquoi nous nous engageons à accompagner les cheffes de petites entreprises grâce à des initiatives de longue date telles que la Subvention pour petites entreprises, en leur fournissant les capitaux, les ressources et l'accès aux infrastructures dont elles ont besoin pour relever les défis et réaliser pleinement leur potentiel. »Les petites entreprises constituent le pilier de l'économie canadienne. Elles emploient 5,8 millions de personnes et contribuent systématiquement à hauteur d'environ 50 % au PIB du secteur privé1. Pourtant, dans le contexte économique actuel en constante évolution, les petites entreprises sont confrontées à des défis d'une complexité sans précédent. Cela est particulièrement vrai pour les femmes propriétaires de petites entreprises, qui demeurent sous-financées de manière disproportionnée et ne reçoivent que 4 % de l'ensemble du financement en capital de risque au Canada2. Elles ont besoin de bien plus qu'un simple soutien financier : elles doivent pouvoir accéder à l'expertise adéquate, à des réseaux numériques sécurisés et à des ressources adaptées. La Subvention pour petites entreprises de Mastercard intègre les lauréates à un écosystème plus large comprenant un soutien en matière de cybersécurité, des ressources pour la transition numérique et des partenaires, autant d'atouts destinés à stimuler leur croissance.Là où les liens créent une communauté
Les lauréates sont invitées à prendre part à une expérience inoubliable à Toronto, où un programme sur mesure leur permettra d'acquérir des connaissances ciblées et de nouer des liens enrichissants avec leurs pairs, des experts de Mastercard et des partenaires du secteur.

Mastercard Study: Nearly 9 in 10 Consumers in Latin America and the Caribbean Are Ready to Embrace Everyday Digital PaymentsApril 21, 2026 2:00 PM
Business Wire
Cash remains relevant where digital acceptance is limited, according to 47% of consumers
Debit leads everyday payments in LAC, with 60% of consumers using it for daily transactions
95% of digital users say security is important when choosing how to pay, reinforcing trust as a key condition for growth
A new Mastercard study on the state of digitalization and financial inclusion in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) reveals a region entering a new phase of financial progress. Digital participation is now mainstream, but the next phase of financial inclusion – and sustainable, inclusive economic growth – will depend not on access alone, but by how confidently and consistently people and small businesses can use digital payments to manage daily life, grow, plan for the future, and ultimately achieve financial health.
Across LAC, 89% of consumers now qualify as digital users, signaling a significant milestone in the region’s financial and digital evolution. At the same time, momentum continues to build among those still outside the ecosystem, with 68% of non-users saying they are “somewhat or very likely” to adopt digital payments in the future. This reinforces that as adoption scales, the real test of inclusion is shifting from access to everyday usability – the ability to pay, earn, save, and transact with confidence across daily needs, from groceries, and transportation, to services, and other daily necessities wherever life happens.
“Digital participation in Latin America and the Caribbean has reached a new level, and inclusion is no longer just about bringing people into the financial system – it’s about making sure the system works for them every day,” said Andrea Scerch, President, Mastercard Latin America and the Caribbean. “From paying for groceries or a coffee to commuting or managing household expenses, the focus must be on making digital payments work reliably in the moments that matter most.”
Debit: The catalyst for consistent digital lifestyles
Debit has emerged as the region’s most relevant and trusted everyday payment tool, anchoring digital behavior across daily transactions. In fact, debit plays a central role in enabling these everyday transactions, particularly in high-frequency categories:
Groceries (34%)
Restaurants and cafés (33%)
Phone bills (27%)
Ride-sharing services (26%)
Yet the ability to rely on digital payments consistently remains uneven across the region. In many of these moments – especially in small, local, or informal settings – limited acceptance forces consumers to rely on cash. Closing this gap is essential to improving financial outcomes on both sides of the transaction.
Cash remains stubbornly present in high-frequency daily moments. Nearly half (47%) of consumers used cash in the past six months. Consumers are clear about what they want next: 87% wish more stores and people accept digital payments, and 59% say that at least once a month they must use cash when they would rather pay with a card or digital device. This acceptance gap represents one of the biggest opportunities in advancing financial inclusion at scale across LAC.
Trust and security are also conditions for growth. Among digital users, 95% say security is important when choosing how to pay and 94% cite trustworthiness as important. For consumers who are hesitant, stronger security features are a key lever: 43% say advanced security would make them more likely to use digital payments, alongside clearer protection in case of problems (38%) and better customer support (36%).
Mastercard’s next commitment: Advancing financial health for people and small businesses
As digital participation expands across the region, Mastercard is evolving its approach to financial inclusion. Building on its long-standing efforts to expand access, the company is now focused on helping people and small businesses move from access to financial health. Reflecting this shift, Mastercard has committed to connecting and protecting 500 million more people and small businesses on their pathways to financial health by 2030. This commitment recognizes that financial progress is a journey – from making everyday payments and building transaction history to gaining access to tools that help households manage expenses and enable businesses to grow, absorb shocks and plan.
Closing the acceptance gap: Building a secure, frictionless ecosystem for all
Mastercard is focused on closing this gap by expanding digital acceptance in ways that deliver shared value across the region. Through continued collaboration with financial institutions, merchants and governments, Mastercard continues to deliver secure, frictionless payment experiences, such as Contactless, Tap on Phone and Click to Pay, helping merchants of all sizes – from large retailers to neighborhood businesses – accept digital payments easily and securely, meeting consumers where they are.
By reducing friction at checkout, strengthening security, and enabling acceptance in everyday environments, these solutions help ensure that digital payments work reliably across physical and digital touchpoints – supporting local commerce, small businesses, and broader economic participation.
“The inclusion conversation has evolved beyond access. Today, people across the region recognize the benefits of digital payments – speed, convenience and safety,” Scerch added. “That’s why we’re focused not only on expanding acceptance, but on helping people and small businesses participate confidently and safely in the digital economy – whether in large urban centers or local neighborhood businesses. As part of Mastercard’s commitment to connect and protect 500 million more people and small businesses by 2030, we’re working to ensure the benefits of digital payments reach more communities, more consistently, across Latin America and the Caribbean.”
As LAC advances toward a more digital economy, the findings send a clear signal: the future of financial inclusion will depend on how easily people can pay for the things that matter most in their daily lives, wherever they are.
Scope and methodology of research
The study was led by Mastercard and conducted by the independent research agency Many Minds Group. In March 2026, a quantitative online survey was carried out among 3,558 adults across 10 Latin American and Caribbean countries: Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Peru, and Puerto Rico. The sample included banked consumers and/or consumers who use financial services, representing the general online population aged 18 to 55+.

Estudio de Mastercard: Casi 9 de cada 10 consumidores en América Latina y el Caribe están listos para adoptar los pagos digitales en sus transacciones cotidianasApril 21, 2026 2:00 PM
Business Wire
El efectivo sigue siendo relevante donde la aceptación digital es limitada, según el 47% de los consumidores.
El débito es el principal medio de pago cotidiano en América Latina y el Caribe, utilizado por el 60% de los consumidores en sus transacciones diarias.
El 95% de los usuarios digitales considera importante la seguridad al elegir cómo pagar, lo que reafirma la confianza como condición clave para el crecimiento.
Un nuevo estudio de Mastercard sobre el estado de la digitalización y la inclusión financiera en América Latina y el Caribe (LAC) revela una región que entra en una nueva etapa de progreso financiero. La participación digital ya es algo común, pero la próxima fase de la inclusión financiera, y un crecimiento económico sostenible e inclusivo, dependerá no solo del acceso, sino de qué tan confiada y consistentemente puedan las personas y las pequeñas empresas usar los pagos digitales para gestionar su vida diaria, crecer, planificar el futuro y, en última instancia, alcanzar la salud financiera.
En toda América Latina y el Caribe (LAC), el 89% de los consumidores ya se consideran usuarios digitales, lo que marca un hito importante en la evolución financiera y digital de la región. Al mismo tiempo, el impulso continúa creciendo entre quienes aún no forman parte del ecosistema, ya que el 68% de los no usuarios afirma que es “algo o muy probable” que adopte los pagos digitales en el futuro.
Esto refuerza que, a medida que crece la adopción, la verdadera medida de la inclusión está pasando del acceso a la facilidad de uso en la vida cotidiana: la capacidad de pagar, recibir dinero, ahorrar y realizar transacciones con confianza en las actividades diarias, desde compras en el supermercado y transporte hasta servicios y otras necesidades, en cualquier momento y lugar donde ocurra la vida.
"La participación digital en América Latina y el Caribe ha alcanzado un nuevo nivel, y la inclusión ya no se trata solo en incorporar a las personas al sistema financiero, sino en asegurar que el sistema funcione para ellas en su vida diaria", afirmó Andrea Scerch, presidente de Mastercard para América Latina y el Caribe. "Desde pagar las compras en una tienda o un café, hasta trasladarse o administrar los gastos del hogar, el foco debe estar en hacer que los pagos digitales funcionen de forma confiable en los momentos que más importan."
Pago con débito: El catalizador de estilos de vida digitales consistentes
Las tarjetas de débito se han consolidado como la herramienta de pago más relevante y confiable en el día a día de la región, integrando lo digital en las transacciones cotidianas. De hecho, los pagos con tarjeta de débito desempeñan un papel central en la facilitación de estas transacciones, especialmente en categorías de alta frecuencia:
Compras de supermercado (34%)
Restaurantes y cafeterías (33%)
Facturas telefónicas (27%)
Servicios de transporte compartido (26%)
Sin embargo, la capacidad de confiar en los pagos digitales de forma constante sigue siendo desigual en toda la región. En muchos de estos momentos, especialmente en entornos pequeños, locales o informales, la aceptación limitada obliga a los consumidores a depender aún del efectivo. Cerrar esta brecha es esencial para mejorar los resultados financieros en ambos lados de la transacción.
El efectivo sigue presente obstinadamente en momentos cotidianos de alta frecuencia. Casi la mitad (47%) de los consumidores ha utilizado efectivo en los últimos seis meses. Los consumidores tienen claro lo que quieren a partir de ahora: el 87% desea que más tiendas y personas acepten pagos digitales, y el 59% dice que al menos una vez al mes debe usar efectivo cuando preferiría pagar con tarjeta o dispositivo digital. Esta brecha de aceptación representa una de las mayores oportunidades para avanzar en la inclusión financiera a gran escala en toda LAC.
La confianza y la seguridad también son condiciones clave para el crecimiento. Entre los usuarios digitales, el 95% considera importante la seguridad al momento de elegir cómo pagar, y el 94% destaca la confiabilidad como un factor relevante. Para los consumidores que aún tienen dudas, las funciones de seguridad más robustas son un factor decisivo: el 43% afirma que una seguridad avanzada los haría más propensos a usar pagos digitales, seguido de una protección más clara ante problemas (38%) y una mejor atención al cliente (36%).
El próximo compromiso de Mastercard: Promover la salud financiera de personas y pequeñas empresas
A medida que la participación digital sigue creciendo en la región, Mastercard está evolucionando su enfoque hacia la inclusión financiera. A partir de su trabajo de largo plazo para ampliar el acceso, la empresa ahora se enfoca en ayudar a personas y pequeñas empresas a pasar del simple acceso a una verdadera salud financiera. En línea con este cambio, Mastercard se ha comprometido a conectar y proteger a 500 millones más de personas y pequeñas empresas en su camino hacia la salud financiera para 2030.
Este compromiso parte de la idea de que el progreso financiero es un proceso: desde realizar pagos cotidianos y construir un historial de transacciones, hasta acceder a herramientas que ayuden a los hogares a gestionar sus gastos y permitan a las empresas crecer, adaptarse a imprevistos y planificar a futuro.
Cerrar la brecha de aceptación: Construir un ecosistema seguro y sin fricciones para todos
Mastercard se centra en cerrar esta brecha ampliando la aceptación digital de forma que generen valor compartido en toda la región. Gracias a la colaboración continua con instituciones financieras, comerciantes y gobiernos, Mastercard sigue ofreciendo experiencias de pago seguras y sin fricciones, como Contactless, Tap on Phone y Click to Pay, ayudando a comerciantes de todos los tamaños, desde grandes minoristas hasta negocios de barrio, a aceptar pagos digitales de forma fácil y segura, atendiendo a los consumidores donde están.
Al reducir las fricciones en el punto de pago, reforzar la seguridad y permitir la aceptación en entornos cotidianos, estas soluciones ayudan a garantizar que los pagos digitales funcionen de forma confiable tanto en comercios físicos como digitales, impulsando así el comercio local, a las pequeñas empresas y una mayor participación en la economía.
“La conversación sobre inclusión ha evolucionado más allá del acceso. Hoy, las personas en toda la región reconocen los beneficios de los pagos digitales: rapidez, comodidad y seguridad”, añadió Scerch. “Por eso no solo nos enfocamos en ampliar la aceptación, sino en ayudar a que las personas y las pequeñas empresas participen con confianza y seguridad en la economía digital, ya sea en grandes ciudades o en negocios de barrio. Como parte del compromiso de Mastercard de conectar y proteger a 500 millones de personas y pequeñas empresas más para 2030, trabajamos para asegurar que los beneficios de los pagos digitales lleguen a más comunidades, de forma más consistente, en toda América Latina y el Caribe.”
A medida que LAC avanza hacia una economía más digital, los hallazgos envían una señal clara: el futuro de la inclusión financiera dependerá de lo fácil que sea que las personas puedan pagar por las cosas que más importan en su vida diaria, dondequiera que estén.
Alcance y metodología de la investigación

La muestra incluyó consumidores bancarizados y/o consumidores que utilizan servicios financieros, representando a la población general en línea de entre 18 y 55+.

Cloudflare und Mastercard schließen Partnerschaft, um eine umfassende Cyberabwehr für kritische Infrastrukturen und KMUs zu ermöglichenFebruary 17, 2026 8:30 PM
Business Wire
Kombinierte Sicherheitslösungen erkennen versteckte Risiken, bewerten den Sicherheitsstatus und automatisieren die Abwehrmaßnahmen für alle internetexponierten Ressourcen
Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), das führende Cloud-Unternehmen für Konnektivität, und Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE: MA) haben heute eine strategische Partnerschaft bekannt gegeben. Ziel der Zusammenarbeit ist die Entwicklung von Tools, die kleinen und mittelständischen Unternehmen, kritischen Infrastrukturen und Regierungen helfen, sich vor den dringlichsten Cyberbedrohungen von heute zu schützen, ohne Innovationen auszubremsen.
Die Funktionen zur Überwachung der Angriffsfläche von Recorded Future und RiskRecon von Mastercard werden in Kombination mit dem Application Security-Portfolio von Cloudflare dafür konzipiert, Millionen von Unternehmen gegen die Risiken einer zunehmend vernetzten digitalen Welt zu schützen. Über eine einheitliche Lösung erhalten Benutzer die Möglichkeit, versteckte Risiken in ihren internetexponierten Umgebungen zu erfassen, zu priorisieren und rasch zu beheben.
Neue Technologien und Tools bieten Unternehmen die Möglichkeit, ihre Innovationskraft zu stärken und kreative Wege zu finden, um ihr Geschäft zu skalieren. Mit dem Einzug neuer Anbieter, ausgelagerter Dienste, Schatten-IT und Altsystemen in die Unternehmensumgebungen wird die Angriffsfläche jedoch unübersichtlich, und Sicherheitsteams müssen oft ohne klare Informationen improvisieren. Dies führt zu einer potenziellen Sichtbarkeitslücke, die es Angreifern erleichtern könnte, die Oberhand zu gewinnen. Unternehmen benötigen heutzutage eine Cyberabwehr, mit der sie schnell und flexibel Innovationen umsetzen können, während kritische Daten durch geeignete Sicherheitsmaßnahmen geschützt bleiben.
„Die Stärkung der Cybersicherheit kritischer Infrastrukturen und die Eindämmung von Cyberrisiken ist eine langfristige und anspruchsvolle Aufgabe“, so Dan Cimpean, Direktor der rumänischen Nationalen Behörde für Cybersicherheit. „Da die Gesellschaften und Volkswirtschaften weltweit immer stärker auf digitale Netzwerke angewiesen sind, müssen wir unsere Anstrengungen im öffentlichen und privaten Sektor, in einzelnen Ländern und internationalen Organisationen bündeln, um Resilienz aufzubauen und Cybersicherheitsvorfälle zu verhindern. Der Schutz kritischer Infrastrukturen ist und muss eine gemeinsame Aufgabe sein.“
Cloudflare und Mastercard verfolgen das Ziel, kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen, kritische Infrastrukturen und Regierungen durch folgende Maßnahmen zu schützen:
Eliminierung von blinden Flecken: Benutzer können ihre digitale Präsenz überwachen, indem sie über Recorded Future alle internetexponierten Domains oder Software-Stacks identifizieren, die im Web ausgeführt werden. Werden ungeschützte Ressourcen identifiziert, können Unternehmen das Application Security-Portfolio von Cloudflare umgehend erweitern, um diese Schattenressourcen abzusichern.
Zuverlässige Echtzeiteinblicke in den Cybersicherheitsstatus: Unterstützt von Recorded Future erhalten Unternehmen Zugang zu einer umfassenden und kontinuierlich aktualisierten Übersicht über ihren Cybersicherheitsstatus. Dazu gehört eine Sicherheitsbewertung mit Noten von A bis F, die auf mehreren Überprüfungen der Sicherheitskontrollen in Bezug auf Software-Schwachstellen, Authentifizierungsschwächen, exponierte Infrastruktur und Drittanbieter-Risiken basiert. Diese Ergebnisse werden im Security Insights-Dashboard von Cloudflare dargestellt, priorisiert nach der Kritikalität der Assets und mit zusätzlichen Informationen zum Schweregrad.
Umsetzung von Erkenntnissen zu Risiken als wirksame Schutzmaßnahmen: Unternehmen können über das Cloudflare-Dashboard Sicherheitskontrollen wie eine Firewall für Webanwendungen, Verschlüsselung oder automatisierte Abwehrmaßnahmen aktivieren, um erkannte Risiken zu verringern.
„Für KMUs, kritische Infrastrukturen und Behörden bedeutet ein Cyberangriff mehr als nur eine technische Herausforderung. Sie ist eine existenzielle Bedrohung. Diese Unternehmen gelten häufig als „reich an Zielen, aber arm an Ressourcen“. Sie sind strategische Ziele und werden oft häufiger angegriffen als globale Konzerne oder Fortune-500-Unternehmen“, erklärt Stephanie Cohen, Chief Strategy Officer bei Cloudflare. „Diese Partnerschaft bündelt die besten Kräfte im Bereich der Cyberabwehr, damit diese unzureichend geschützten Organisationen keine Opfer der steigenden Zahl von Cyberangriffen werden.“
„Da kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen etwa die Hälfte des weltweiten BIP erwirtschaften, ist es von zentraler Bedeutung, die Resilienzlücke zu schließen, um das Fundament unserer globalen Wirtschaft zu schützen“, betont Johan Gerber, Global Head of Security Solutions bei Mastercard. „Unsere Zusammenarbeit mit Cloudflare bringt uns unserem Ziel näher, das digitale Ökosystem in Zusammenarbeit mit Regierungen und anderen wichtigen Akteuren zu schützen, sodass sich Unternehmen auf das Wesentliche konzentrieren können: ihre Produktivität und ihr Wachstum.“

Business Wire
The brand will premiere Kahan’s new music video during its 2026 Grammy Awards® commercial break and extend the experience beyond the broadcast, bringing eligible cardholders worldwide closer to his music through The Mastercard Collection.
When Noah Kahan first teased ‘The Great Divide,’ fans immediately made it their own, turning the song into a shared anthem before it was officially released. Now, Mastercard is collaborating with the two-time Grammy® nominated, multi-platinum artist to bring that connection to life – co-producing and premiering the official music video on Music’s Biggest Night® and unlocking Priceless Experiences and premium access to Kahan’s music through The Mastercard Collection, a global suite of elevated dining, entertainment and travel benefits.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260129005440/en/Noah Kahan on set during the filming of his music video “The Great Divide,” co produced by Mastercard in support of a larger campaign unlocking Priceless Experiences and premium access to his music through The Mastercard Collection on January 29, 2026, in Nashville, Tennessee.
Noah Kahan’s highly anticipated new single, ‘The Great Divide’ will be released tomorrow, January 30th, from his forthcoming album of the same title, due out April 24th. The official music video will debut on Sunday, February 1st, during Mastercard’s commercial time in the 2026 Grammy Awards® broadcast — marking a cultural moment shaped as much by Kahan’s fans as by the music itself. Inspired by the overwhelming fan response, the collaboration reflects a shared belief in the power of music to create belonging, connection and lasting memories. Fans can view the official 5:17 min version of the video at priceless.com/noahkahan.
Celebrating the premiere of the video, Mastercard will launch a sweepstakes to unlock a series of Priceless Experiences designed to bring cardholders closer to Kahan’s world.

From the video to the moments we’re creating, it’s all about celebrating the community that’s been there from the start.”
Music unites us through lyrics, emotion and moments. Through this collaboration, Mastercard is celebrating the fans and cardholders that are shaping culture, listening closely and rewarding that passion with access, including:
Through the power of music: The official music video brings the song’s powerful message of love, loss and the idea it’s never too late to repair a friendship to life, revealing clever visual clues that hint at a deeper story behind the lyrics and celebrate the vibrant, ever-expanding world of Kahan’s music along the way.
Starting February 2nd, Mastercard will launch a sweepstakes encouraging cardholders to find as many Easter Eggs in ’The Great Divide’ music video as they can for a chance to win one of four unforgettable prizes:
One grand prize winner and their guest will be invited to an intimate, invite-only listening party with Noah Kahan before his new album drops.
