Podcasts about Mastercard

This week on The Brand Builder's Playbook, Jim, Ryan, and Cait dive into one of marketing's toughest questions: how do you prove the ROI of a brand? In a world where every dollar spent needs justification, they explore how marketers can connect creative storytelling to measurable business growth.To help unpack it, they're joined by Raja Rajamannar, Mastercard's Chief Marketing & Communications Officer. Raja shares how Mastercard built one of the world's most trusted brands by grounding its marketing in data, financial discipline, and purpose. He outlines his framework for measuring marketing ROI across three dimensions, brand strength, business growth, and sustainable competitive advantage, and shares practical lessons on earning credibility with CFOs and boards. “Purpose and profits are not mutually exclusive. If you pursue purpose methodically, thoughtfully, and innovatively, profits will follow.” — Raja Rajamannar—Download this week's worksheet: http://bit.ly/3KX9ts4Read about upcoming episode topics and guests here: https://bera.ai/podcast/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Fraud is no longer just a downstream cleanup issue. It's a direct result of cyber incidents that outpace our organizational structures. Siloed teams still overlook weak signals, coordinated attacks manage to get through, and losses grow across different channels. That's why banking leaders need a new strategy: one that treats fraud and cybersecurity as a unified defense, sharing intelligence, standard procedures, and real-time decision-making. In this episode of Banking Transformed, we'll explain how cyber-enabled fraud actually occurs, why traditional structures don't work, and what it takes to stay ahead. We'll also explore the GenAI factor, looking at how attackers are scaling deception and how banks can respond with smarter profiling and faster, smoother decision-making. Joining me is Laura Quevedo, Executive Vice President, Fraud & Decisioning Solutions at Mastercard, a leader at the center of payment resiliency, financial crime prevention, and risk decisioning. She will share how integrated teams and shared intelligence are changing outcomes for institutions worldwide. For banking leaders tasked with protecting their institutions and customers in this new era of converged threats, this conversation offers a practical roadmap for building truly resilient defenses. Because the question is no longer whether your fraud and cyber teams should work together, but how quickly you can make it happen.

Dr Bartoszewicz oskarża całą klasę politycznąW Polsce tak wygląda prowadzenie państwa. Jak nie ma efektów w procesie zarządzenia i bogacenia się obywateli, no to trzeba zrobić hecę polityczną. Jeżeli są problemy, jeżeli są zarzuty, jeżeli są dowody, to po to jest prokurator i sąd, ale cały cyrk polityczny, który zawsze wokół tego jest i używanie instrumentów związanych z funkcjonowaniem tego aspektu bezpieczeństwa i sądownictwa do celów politycznych w Polsce jest standardem.wskazuje b. kandydat na prezydenta dr Artur Bartoszewicz w rozmowie z Jaśminą Nowak.Zła sytuacja gospodarcza PolskiTo, że mamy najdroższą energię na świecie, drodzy państwo, wynika nie tyle z głupoty, bo to jest świadome działanie ludzi, którzy dokonują destrukcji gospodarki polskiej. [...] Proszę zwrócić uwagę, jak oba ośrodki polityczne największe w Polsce, czyli zarówno PiS, jak i Platforma, przyczyniły się do zamykania kopalnimówi gość "Odysei Wyborczej", punktując "amok Zielonego Ładu i odnawialnych źródeł energii".Cyfrowe euro jako narzędzie inwigilacjiTo spowoduje uzależnienie od dolara, czyli tego silniejszego obszaru gospodarczego, który będzie kształtował reguły finansowe.  Proszę zwrócić uwagę, że Europa nie ma żadnego własnego systemu płatniczego. Mastercard i Visa to są rozwiązania amerykańskie. BLIK, to jest rozwiązanie, które mogłoby stać się rozwiązaniem europejskim i dawać niezależność systemu płatniczego. Cyfrowe euro jest totalnym narzędziem inwigilacji. Europa poddaje się temu procesowi tylko po to, żeby za dwa lata całkowicie zabronić płatności gotówkowej, a potem określić, że to jest tylko i wyłącznie jedyny środek płatniczy bez względu na to, czy jesteś w strefie euro, czy nie jesteś w strefie euro. Rozumiem Państwu, w ciągu dwóch lat będziemy mieli to zrealizowane.

Do čela českého a slovenského Mastercard nastoupila před dvěma lety, předtím ale dlouhá léta žila ve Velké Británii, kde získavala zkušenosti zejména v segmentu fintechu. A ty se ji nyní více než hodí, jelikož tento segment spolu s novými moderními technologiemi jako je umělá inteligence (AI) začíná silně promlouvat do platebních technologií i samotného bankovních služeb. “Konečně se jednotlivé věci jako je digitální identita, AI, tokenizace a třeba i otevřené bankovnictví začínají propojovat,” říká v dalším Forbes Byznys podcastu šéfka Mastercard pro Českou republiku a Slovensko Jana Lvová, která patří i do Forbes výběru nejvlivnějších žen Česka. Jaké jsou trendy v platebních službách? Kam se dnes posouvá segment kyberbezpečnosti? Je Revolut pro Mastercard konkurencí? A zmizí někdy zcela z trhu klasické platební karty? To vše si poslechněte v podcastu.

In the US, risky assets slid, with tech stocks and cryptocurrencies bearing the brunt of the selling, after long-simmering concerns about lofty valuations were fanned anew by a chorus of Wall Street executives who warned investors to brace for a pullback. In South Korea, the equity benchmark slumped as valuation concerns hammered recent winners such as chip stocks, defense and shipbuilders. For more on the latest market action, we heard from Anna Wu, VanEck Cross-Asset Investment Specialist. She spoke to Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong. Plus - we go to Singapore, where we speak to Sandeep Malhotra, Mastercard Executive Vice President for Core Payments in Asia Pacific. He talks about how technology, partnerships, and regulation are redefining how money moves across the region. From real-time payments to cross-border interoperability and the role of AI in fraud prevention, Malhotra shares how Mastercard is modernizing its core network while supporting financial inclusion. We also explore how consumer behavior and digital infrastructure in Asia are influencing global payment trends.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

En Capital Intereconomía hemos puesto hoy el foco en la innovación tecnológica y sanitaria, con una edición muy especial de Empresas con Identidad y Digital Business. En Empresas con Identidad, conversamos con Julio Ferrón, CEO de Neitec, la startup que acaba de ganar el Startup Contest 2025 de MERGE Madrid con su plataforma Debita, una infraestructura de crédito privado tokenizado que conecta al mid-market con inversores globales bajo el marco regulatorio MiCA. Ferrón explicó cómo Neitec busca democratizar el acceso a la financiación mediante tecnología blockchain, aportando transparencia, trazabilidad y eficiencia a los mercados emergentes de deuda. Durante el evento, el debate giró en torno al futuro de los pagos y la tokenización del dinero. Mastercard presentó su avance con stablecoins en tres frentes —cripto-tarjetas, liquidaciones en stablecoin y su red Multitoken Network—, mientras que BBVA y Santander coincidieron en que el gran reto del sistema financiero digital no es técnico, sino cultural, y que el marco europeo MiCA aporta seguridad y confianza. El panel “Las Stablecoins y su Influencia Global: Europa vs. EE. UU.” concluyó que ambos bloques avanzan por caminos distintos pero complementarios: Europa con foco en la regulación y EE. UU. en la innovación. En Digital Business, Stella Luna de María, CEO de Pentaquark Consulting, advirtió sobre la posible burbuja de la inteligencia artificial, en especial en el auge de las IA de vídeo, que están “aprendiendo a imitar el mundo” mediante un uso masivo de contenido de plataformas como YouTube. La jornada continuó con una entrevista conjunta a Jesús Jerónimo, director de Salud Digital en SANITAS & BUPA Europa y Latam, y Alejo Costa, General Partner de CRB Digital Health III, el fondo español de capital riesgo especializado en salud digital que acaba de recibir una inversión de 9,9 millones de euros del Gobierno de España a través de la Sociedad Española para la Transformación Tecnológica (SETT). Ambos coincidieron en que la digitalización del sistema sanitario es clave para mejorar la eficiencia, la prevención y la atención personalizada, y que la colaboración público-privada será esencial para impulsar la sostenibilidad del sistema de salud. El fondo ya supera los 30 millones de euros y cuenta con el respaldo de Sanitas, Occident, CBNK, Cantabria Labs, Roca Group Ventures y el ICF, entre otros inversores.

Wall Street is doubling down on crypto as major financial institutions accelerate their blockchain strategies. Mastercard is enabling 3.5 billion cardholders to make Bitcoin and crypto transactions, Western Union has launched its USDpt stablecoin on Solana, and the NYSE-backed ICE is partnering with Polymarket to adopt 24/7 tokenized collateral.

As adoption expands, the line between crypto and Wall Street continues to blur.

The Fed cuts rates again, sending ripples through markets as Bitcoin rallies and altcoin ETFs officially go live. We dive into how lower rates may fuel renewed crypto momentum and what the rate cut may mean for "digital gold" versus gold. Meanwhile, Mastercard is reportedly eyeing a $2 billion acquisition of crypto infrastructure firm Zerohash, and Ethereum giant Consensys gears up for a landmark IPO with Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, potentially signaling a new era for blockchain finance.

AI SUMMARY: Summary: Felix from WAVE.space discusses their innovative Visa debit card, WAVE card, which allows users to spend Bitcoin anywhere Visa is accepted. Launched in February as a virtual card, they're working towards a physical card, facing delays due to partnerships with various entities, including banks and Visa/MasterCard. These partnerships are essential as WAVE.space outsources regulatory licenses to focus on product development. A key hurdle is getting card designs approved by Visa and MasterCard, who are cautious about brand association. WAVE.space is transitioning from Visa to MasterCard for better control over card settings within their platform. The card currently supports euros, with plans to expand to other currencies by partnering with entities in different regions, such as Estonia, to handle regulatory aspects. Users can create an account on the WAVE.space web app, complete KYC verification, and deposit Bitcoin to start using the card. Users can also connect self-custodial wallets via NostriWallet Connect to spend Bitcoin directly. WAVE.space aims to enable users to live on a Bitcoin standard, offering an instant swap feature for buying and selling Bitcoin between wallets and bank accounts. This service is facilitated through a partnership with a virtual assets service provider, which is also applying for MiCA licensing. Felix highlights that the company is using other Bitcoin focused companies to leverage themselves off of. The company charges a 1% fee on conversions, whether buying, selling, or spending Bitcoin. Customer feedback reveals unexpected use cases, including Bitcoin beginners using the card to understand Bitcoin better and buying Bitcoin with euros to spend via the card. Some users leverage the platform for reliable and private Bitcoin sales, as WAVE.space issues IBANs in the user's name, ensuring that transfers to their bank accounts appear as internal transfers, avoiding scrutiny from banks. Felix shares a story of someone in the UK struggling to buy a house after selling Bitcoin and recommends people use WAVE.space in Europe to avoid those issues. Felix says the company has a thousand users and is growing 70-80% each month. The company was bootstrapped by three co-founders and then had investment from angels, one of which was one of the first angel investors in Relay. Felix is looking for investors who understand the goals of the company. There are plans for loyalty and rewards programs, potentially integrating with platforms like Satsback, and expanding partnerships with airlines like EasyJet and accommodation providers like Airbnb. Felix shares that the company has a blog post talking about people shorting Bitcoin without realizing it. The WAVE card lowers people's time preference because it causes them to ask the question, "Is this worth 30,000 sats?" Felix recommends people check out the Telegram group, website, and Twitter account for the latest information. He plans to be at Bitcoin Forum in Bavaria and Lugano's Plan B conference. Felix jokes that if he had one orange pill left, he would give it to Christine Lagarde.

In this episode of Scratch, Eric chats with Bronwen Foster-Butler, CMO of Finisterre, the cold-water surf brand from Cornwall proving that purpose and performance can coexist. Bronwen shares how community became Finisterre's real growth engine, from “creating through community, not for it,” to rethinking top-of-funnel marketing and focusing on relationships over reach. She shows how listening to your customers can lower CAC, build loyalty, and create true advocates.Finisterre began with a simple insight: the surf industry's glossy, tropical image that didn't reflect the real, rugged world of UK surfers. Today, it's a B Corp and leading challenger brand proving that you can grow profitably without losing your soul.And finally, she dives into how a strong sense of place in Cornwall's coastline and the shipping forecast origins of the Finisterre name and thus gives the brand its distinct voice. Ultimately, the takeaway for marketers is clear: scaling through a niche isn't limiting but it is the future. Staying true to who you are as a brand, and give a platform to your community to carry the story forward.Watch the video version of this podcast on Youtube ▶️: HERE

In This Episode Inside The Futurists X Summit: Preparing For An AI Powered Future This week Breaking Banks comes to you from The Futurists X Summit in Dubai, the world's largest gathering of top-ranked futurists. This summit brings together leaders, innovators and policymakers from around the globe for meaningful dialogue on the future of technology, business and society. Tune in as Breaking Banks and The Futurists host Brett King speaks with Mastercard's J.K. Khalil, EVP and Division President of East Arabia, and Raja Rajamannar, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at Mastercard. JK and Brett kick off the discussion with JK highlighting Mastercard's partnership with the Ministry of AI in Dubai and their AI Center of Excellence in the UAE. Mastercard is always talking about the fast and accelerating pace of change and its impact on consumers' lives. The AI Center of Excellence aims to demonstrate that AI is more than just a buzzword, helping people see the bigger picture and understand the broader implications -- how this access to information and AI translates to daily life. The discussion also touches on exploring possible futures and enhancing the human experience. Then, Raja joins Brett to share his perspective on an AI-powered future. As AI improves quality of life, helping to alter the work-life balance -- working less, experiencing more -- what does the world look like? With AI, chores can be delegated to the machine, you can let go of certain things and have more time for other things. Time to pursue your passions – a long-standing focus for Mastercard is helping elevate lives through experiences. As technology levels the playing field—and everyone feeds similar briefs into the same AI tools—outputs will start to look alike. That's exactly why this moment could become a new golden age of marketing: a chance to break through the sameness with real creativity, smart risk-taking and unconventional ideas. With advanced tools and the right mix of strategy and imagination, the possibilities are endless. And when you serve consumers with heart while driving revenue, that's marketing at its best. It's an engaging and thought-provoking episode from leaders in the field....priceless! Interested in hearing more about The Futurists X Summit? Follow our sister podcast, The Futurists.
