  • Visa and Mastercard are using their international networks to find opportunities for overlooked businesses to address this issue.
  • Both card networks have expanded financial inclusion programs with a focus on women and minority-owned startups, but a substantial gap remains.
  • The lack of diversity in leadership is harming the overall economy and the investors themselves.
