Posted on by

Mastercard has announced a significant partnership with German technology leader Kobil GmbH to advance its digital ecosystem projects around the world. The collaboration aims to foster innovative business models combining Mastercard’s global influence with KOBIL’s expertise in data security and digital identity. As a newly appointed global partner, KOBIL GmbH will integrate its acclaimed SuperApp platform into Mastercard’s network, starting with a pilot study in the Middle East and Africa and potentially expanding to more than 80 countries.

Kobil GmbH’s technical expertise, especially in digital identity and data security, has earned Mastercard’s trust. The partnership will focus on introducing new business models suitable for both urban and institutional use. “Our inaugural joint project, a pilot study in the MEA region, is just the beginning,” said Ismet Koyun, CEO of Kobil Group. He also mentioned the success of the Istanbul SuperApp, which connected 16 million residents to city services and was recognized at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.
