“The Mastercard Start Path program provides Xformative with a tremendous endorsement, and ensures we are working on key strategic priorities for success, especially as the demand for card issuer products, programs and features is outpacing the abilities of some of the current providers,” said Xformative CEO, Brad Bialas. “Our goal is to tighten the gap so that financial institutions, benefit providers, and all other tech-enabled companies looking to embed financial services have a flexible choice.”
“In today’s landscape where we’re moving toward a post-pandemic world, there’s no better time to take the plunge and build a business that will address some of the biggest challenges we’re all facing,” said Amy Neale, Senior Vice President, Start Path & Fintech at Mastercard. “Mastercard is proud to partner with Xformative on their journey to grow and scale and provide support and mentorship through the Start Path program.”
