STORIES
FARM PASS
Yo! Pay Agric leverages Mastercard’s Farm Pass to establish a digital identity for farmers. In turn, this allows farmers’ income, harvest data and transaction history to be digitized, enabling them to build a credit profile and gain access to marketplaces and more buyers, improving their livelihoods. By deploying a hybrid physical-digital model, ecosystem partners onboard farmers at scale and capture real-time insights, while farmers receive assistance from agents in-person, as well as digitally.
Letshego
community PASS
In partnership with Letshego, a pan-African inclusive finance organization, Mastercard launched Commerce Pass, which aims to transition marginalized individuals and merchants from cash to digital. Commerce Pass is an offline stored-value account that enables consumers and MSMEs to store, receive and spend funds digitally so that transactions are secure and transparent. This enables both merchants and consumers to build a financial persona so, in turn, the bank can offer credit and other suitable financial products.
Digital Mobile Africa
Digital Mobile Africa (DMA Limited) is an agrifintech that has established relationships with many agricultural value chain players in Tanzania, including input suppliers, buyers, equipment manufacturers, mobile network operators, financial institutions and more. DMA leverages their network of Village Digital Agents to onboard Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), agribusinesses and farmers at the last mile to Mastercard’s Farm Pass, a digital marketplace for goods and services.
