Banque Libano-Française (BLF) won the “Driving Financial Inclusion” award from MasterCard during the MasterCard Innovation Forum 2014 which was held in Singapore on September 24-25, 2014 in presence of 350 MasterCard partners.

The Innovation Awards aim to highlight the best examples of partners who demonstrate a deep understanding of consumer needs and deliver highly impactful and innovative payment solutions.

It was made possible thanks to a pioneering electronic solution created by MasterCard and BLF.”
