We were thrilled to once again attend the annual Mastercard Innovation Forum for LAC. This year’s event, the 13th annual, was in Miami on December 3, 2024, and brought together more than 1,500 senior and C-level executives from leading financial institutions across Latin America, along with select Mastercard partners.

As one of those select partners, we had the opportunity to showcase our comprehensive consumer banking experience, highlighting secure identity verification, seamless account opening, and the instant issuance of both digital and physical payment cards. The forum also provided an excellent opportunity to connect with industry experts and partners from across the region.

A highlight of the event was the Mastercard LAC organization’s Engage Excellence Awards, which recognize outstanding achievements in project implementation across various categories. Awards are given in Acceptance (for merchants and acquirers), Issuance, and Fintech Express, with each category featuring awards for Growth, Innovation, and Agility.

We’re proud to announce that we received first place in the Issuance category for Innovation! The selection process involved a thorough review of more than 60 project submissions from 21 Mastercard Engage partners, evaluated by a dedicated committee. This award recognizes our innovative strides in delivering secure and seamless solutions.

"We’re honored to be recognized for our efforts and look forward to continuing our journey of innovation together with the Mastercard LAC team.” - Agustin Guzman, Director Sales Consultant, Digital Card Solution, Americas, Entrust 

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our winning team and to Mastercard for this honor. Special thanks to our strategic partner Backbase, whose collaboration was instrumental in achieving this recognition. And thank you, Mastercard Advisors team, for allowing us to jointly work on this project, which made this possible. Here’s to continued innovation and secure digital transformation!

And last but not least, a sincere thank you to our clients! Your trust and feedback drive us to continuously adapt and excel. You make this journey possible, and we’re excited to keep growing together.
