We’re excited to announce this next step in our partnership with the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth to connect more micro and small businesses to the digital economy and explore new ways to improve financial health. Small businesses are a vital part of emerging economies around the world, providing essential jobs, goods, and services to their communities. Together, we’ve already helped more than 12.8 million people benefit from digital transformation. I’m thrilled to continue our partnership as we work to create a fair and inclusive economy where underserved people have quality financial choices and opportunities to improve their economic wellbeing.
Building on four years of work together to enable digital transformation among small businesses, Accion and the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth announced a renewal of their partnership and a sustained commitment “to improve the financial health of micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in emerging economies.”
