Mastercard (NYSE: MA) announced recently that it has launched various new benefits in support of small businesses operating across Canada.
Curated new cardholder benefits provide savings on products and solutions tailored to meet the requirements of Canadian business owners.
In order to to acknowledge Small Business Month, Mastercard is announcing new cardholder offerings with the aim to benefit Canadian small businesses, growing its suite of existing tools and solutions.
Via partnerships with Slack, Asana, FlexiRoam, H&R Block and several other service providers, Mastercard says that it is reinforcing its “long-standing commitment” to helping every small business succeed via innovation and community.
