\n<\/p>\n

Mastercard Start Path, an accelerator program for fintech startups, has welcomed six new companies innovating in the field of blockchain-based payments.<\/p>\n

Asante Financial Services, Cledara, Jifti, Moeda Seeds, SpendDebt and Tippy were selected for being \u201cfintech innovators\u201d in software-as-a-service and blockchain technology<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cAs the fintech landscape evolves at an unprecedented speed, Mastercard provides the infrastructure and assets to help fintech innovators grow and ultimately bring more people into the digital economy,\u201d said Amy Neale, Mastercard\u2019s senior vice president of fintech and enablers. She continued:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe newest Start Path companies represent the future of the fintech industry and are designing inclusive solutions that anticipate consumer needs \u2014 we\u2019re thrilled to partner with these innovators on their path to scale.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Start Path is a six-month accelerator program that aids startups in scaling up and commercializing their products and services. Companies that are selected for Start Path receive coveted access to Mastercard\u2019s technology, expertise and resources. <\/p>\n

Mastercard is making a big push into blockchain technology, with its latest Start Path participants reflecting a renewed commitment to innovating in the payments arena. As Cointelegraph recently reported, Mastercard was one of several major companies to lead a $65 million raise for ConsenSys, one of the most prominent software companies in the blockchain industry. <\/p>\n

The credit card company has also incorporated carbon-footprint tracking into its blockchain-based Provenance Solution, which allows users to make more environmentally conscious decisions when shopping for everyday items. <\/p>\n
