We’re making a difference. When we became
a public company ten years ago, the MasterCard
Foundation was established as an independent
entity to promote financial
inclusion and advance
youth learning, mostly in
Africa. The Foundation’s
programs are serving more
than nine million people in
29 African countries and
provide a combination of
skills-building, education
and access to financial services. And our MasterCard
Center for Inclusive Growth directs philanthropic
investments and builds connections between the
development community, governments, business
and academia. Together, we’re creating innovative
solutions to foster inclusive growth.
A STRONG FOUNDATION AND FUTURE
Whether it’s 50 years of history or ten years of
being a public company, it’s never about looking
back for us. Together with
our board, we think about
what’s ahead and how
we’re advancing our role
in digital payments; how
we’re driving safety and
security; how we’re
fostering financial inclusion;
how we’re making
MasterCard one of the best places to work; and
how we’re sustaining profitable growth for our
company and for our shareholders. While no one
can predict what the next 50 years will bring,
we know this to be true: when you think of
MasterCard
—
think opportunity.

WHILE NO ONE CAN PREDICT
WHAT THE NEXT 50 YEARS
WILL BRING, WE KNOW THIS
TO BE TRUE: WHEN YOU
THINK OF MASTERCARD
—
THINK OPPORTUNITY.
