Transferwise, Mastercard plan global expansion  

Transferwise is expanding its partnership with Mastercard for global card issuance.  

In Brief:  

  • The ForEx FinTech will now be able to issue cards in any market Mastercard operates in and Transferwise is licensed.  

  • The pair have been issuing cards since 2018.  

  • Existing markets are the US, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and Europe – and Japan is next on the list.
