– The key concept explaining the mission of Visa Europe Collab is: cooperation. We are not concerned about acquiring new companies or acquiring shares in them. Instead, we enable innovative operators have access to the experience and results of research and development of the whole community of companies of a similar nature, seeking to redefine the relationship of citizens to the world of payments. During our 100-day evaluation process, entrepreneurs will have the unique opportunity to work with the most brilliant professionals from the payments industry and beyond, in order to be able to realize their ideas and perhaps reach out to the vast number of customers leading banks across the region.

Never before payment and financial sphere was not as fascinating as it is now, when our ways of paying affect newer and newer solutions and technologies, from mobile devices on virtual reality. We considered this the ideal moment to inaugurate our incubator.
