Joanne Dewar, Chief Executive Officer of Global Processing Services, commented: “GPS and Mastercard have led the charge in the fintech industry globally over the last decade. Through its early support of nascent e-money issuance and the use of prepaid, Mastercard has created what we now know as fintech, and what we all believe is pivotal to the future of mainstream payments. Together, we have broken new ground in the fintech space, addressing real world challenges and enabling financial empowerment for everyone – this announcement officially cements our partnership.”
Launched in June 2020, GPS is already embedded into Mastercard’s Fintech Express programme alongside GPS’ partners which it processes for – Railsbank , a global Banking-as-a-Service (Baas) platform, and electronic money institution, Treezor .
The programme helps start-ups launch rapidly and expand based on their needs by providing:
- Access : obtaining a Mastercard License and accessing the global payments company’s network through a streamlined onboarding process
- Build: becoming an Express Partner by building unique tech alliances and benefitting from all the advantages that Mastercard provides

Express Partners also enjoy all the benefits of becoming a Qualified Engage Partner.
