Its Mastercard Fintech Express programme will provide speed-to-market access to digital-first payment products along with a team of experts for counselling.

These payment products will be integrated with Mastercard’s global payment network, which will help Tonik boost its market proposition when it launches.

Mastercard Asia Pacific EVP of digital & emerging partnerships Rama Sridhar said: “Tonik exemplifies an agile and innovative fintech whose ambition of driving financial inclusion in the Philippines through digital-first products and seamless consumer experiences is closely aligned with Mastercard’s mission to connect and power an inclusive, digital economy that benefits everyone.”

Digital financial inclusion and access to financial services for the unserved and underserved is part of Tonik’s proposition.
