Lithuanian company Walletto has become a member of Mastercard Lighthouse, which aims to help startups in the Baltics and Nordic countries to establish contacts, find partners and get inspiration from experienced experts who have been working on the financial technology industry for many years
"Mastercard's Lighthouse program helps FinTech startups to kickstart their business by giving them access to banks, payment institutions and focused investors to get the support they need to break through. Five years ago, Walletto started its operations as a startup company as well, and has successfully developed over the years, and today we are ready to share our experience and help startups to reach their goals," says Romans Baranovs, CEO of Walletto.
