Mastercard will enable Boost to offer digital payment and credit solutions to their micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) customers across their current and future markets, amplifying the company’s impact whilst contributing to Mastercard’s mission of fostering an inclusive digital economy.

This strategic collaboration aims to provide financial institutions with the capability to issue digital payment solutions and expand into the micro-retail space, whilst empowering merchants to digitize payments and access working capital.

Furthermore, it will ensure a broader array of FMCG products for consumers with easier product payments through the availability of digital payment solutions.

Mastercard will help us take our model to the next level to create transformative value for our customers and partners while fueling our global ambitions.”

This collaboration reiterates Mastercard’s commitment to including MSMEs in the digital ecosystem.

“We are excited to embark on this transformative journey with Boost, as we understand the challenges that small businesses face, By digitizing payments and creating a track record for their transactions, we will enable more MSME’s to access credit facilities and scale their businesses Through the delivery of integrated digital payment solutions and supply chain finance, we believe we are empowering MSMEs with essential tools to not only survive, but thrive.

This collaboration underscores our dedication to advance MSME growth in emerging markets and foster economic growth and financial inclusion through innovative digital solutions,” said Folasade Femi-Lawal, Country Manager and Area Business Head, West Africa, Mastercard.

In cementing this monumental collaboration with Boost, Mastercard moves a step closer to realizing its goal of bringing a total of one billion people and 50 million micro and small businesses into the digital economy by 2025.
