The government of a Caribbean country aimed to improve financial inclusion despite significant wealth disparity. Their goal was to provide social Christmas aid to 1.4 million citizens, approximately 10% of the population. However, they faced challenges related to fraud prevention and logistical support. To address this, Mastercard Disbursements collaborated with the country’s largest bank to launch a campaign, securely distributing payment cards. The Mastercard Disbursements team efficiently delivered 1.4 million cards ahead of schedule, implementing a flawless authorization process with a 0% fraud rate. Additionally, they implemented restrictions to safeguard against misuse of government funds, resulting in the extension of the initial contract.
