Mastercard takes another major step forward with the opening of its first office in Port-Louis on December 11. This presence also demonstrates Mastercard’s commitment to serving the emerging market of Mauritius, East Africa and the Indian Ocean islands with its innovative financial products and services.
Mastercard’s presence in Mauritius reflects the company’s efforts to stimulate the next level of growth and support for the country’s digital economy. Through this office, Mastercard will bring key value to its customers and businesses in the region, offering greater agility and efficiency in the delivery of services to Mauritian stakeholders.
For Mark Elliott, Divisional President, Sub-Saharan Africa at Mastercard, the opening of this office is an opportunity for expansion, “Mastercard has a long and rich history in Mauritius, and the opening of our first dedicated office strengthens our footprint in the market while tightening our ties with our local partners. Our expansion and growth strategy for the region is solid, and the establishment of our formal presence is a key pillar in our drive to better meet the specific needs of our customers. We look forward to capitalizing on our global and local expertise and innovative capabilities to deploy world-class payment technologies alongside our partners.”
It should be noted that the expansion of Mastercard’s geographical presence in Africa is a strategic priority, with offices already in cities such as Cairo, Casablanca, Johannesburg, Lagos and Nairobi.
