Mastercard Accelerates Deployment
of Digital First Solutions

Mastercard Engage platform expansion provides customers with fast and easy access to new set of qualified technology partners

Mastercard is expanding the Engage platform, offering customers easy access to a growing network of qualified technology and fintech partners that can quickly deploy Mastercard Digital First solutions. These solutions will enable customers to provide entirely digital payment experiences for consumers, from acquisition and card usage to management and engagement, with a physical card option.

“The expansion of Mastercard Engage is happening at a critical time when financial institutions and digital players are seeking to fulfill consumer demand for digital experiences but may not have all of the in-house capabilities to do so,” said Andrea Scerch, President, Consumer Products for Issuers. “Instead of merely supporting physical cards with digital experiences, we are powering consumer choice by building a robust network of qualified enablers that can help our customers quickly launch digital products from the ground up.”

The Mastercard Engage network includes partners that provide various components and integration capabilities across the Digital First customer journey to deliver a frictionless payment experience, including Signzy to support digital onboarding and instant eKYC services, Provenir to provide real-time risk decisioning, issuer processors such as Galileo, i2c and Marqeta, and end-to-end Digital First enablers Thales and Verestro.

“Agility and innovation are key in a digital-first market and businesses need purpose-built technology designed to outpace market evolution,” said Larry Smith, Founder and CEO at Provenir. “We’re excited to bring Provenir’s real-time risk decisioning technology to the Mastercard Engage network to help deploy best-in-class solutions.”

Mastercard has a long history of working with technology and fintech partners to build the future of payments. The evolution of the Mastercard Engage platform demonstrates the company’s continued commitment to enabling customers in building out their digital first consumer journey.

The Mastercard Engage program is now open to support Digital First deployment, provide on-the-ground assistance as well as training through the Mastercard Academy, and promotion to Mastercard’s extensive customer base. Visit the Mastercard Engage website for more information.

Simplify and Streamline
Financial Analysis and Risk Rating

Corporate, commercial and SME lending demands extensive financial analysis and risk rating to determine the credit-worthiness of any organization. Lending institutions are bogged down with manual processes for capturing and analyzing essential data to determine accurate ratings.

With Provenir, you can take the manual effort out of financial analysis and risk rating. Provenir offers a unified, flexible solution, automatically aggregating data from disparate and unstructured sources, standardizing it into a common financial model and applying the appropriate ratings model to determine quantitative risk ratings. In addition, Provenir enables rule-based qualitative analysis specific to industries and segments for in-depth analysis before determining overall ratings.

  • Cut time and costs for data enrichment with pre-built adaptors that automatically consolidate comprehensive financial and company information, including entity relationships and group structures, from any enterprise and third-party data sources.
  • Simplify and streamline risk rating across multiple statement formats, countries and currencies with automated normalization and business-defined financial statement templates.
  • Improve consistency and compliance while reducing risk with scorecards and risk models operationalized in automated risk rating processes. Provenir is model-agnostic so that you can use any third-party model or scorecard developed in industry-standard tools such SAS, R and Excel.
  • Enhance business agility using configuration tools that allow you to quickly create, test and deploy streamlined risk rating strategies.

Operationalize Your Risk Analytics

Improve Risk Rating Efficiency and Effectiveness

  • Business rules can be used to combine quantitative and qualitative scores into an overall risk rating.
  • Business-friendly user interface makes it easy to manage risk rating on an on-going basis, such as viewing previous or historical ratings, modifying ratings, re-rating and transferring risk between related entities.
  • Automated portfolio monitoring can continually assess performance for any aspect of a loan portfolio with early warning indicators identifying potential problems.
