A look at how financial technology companies like Mastercard and Visa are adopting metaverse.
A virtual tour of three reward categories was made available to Mastercard members through an augmented reality app released two years ago.
The banking behemoth then announced the Start Path Crypto programme, a startup engagement programme committed to researching and solving challenges for individual consumers and organisations across the globe utilising blockchain technology, in December 2021.
Visa’s one-year creator programme will also use NFTs to help small enterprises. Visa said that its primary objective was to choose entrepreneurs in the arts, music, film, and fashion industries and help them grow their commercial operations by entering the NFT market.
