In this episode of Finscale, I welcome Jorn Lambert, Chief Product Officer at Mastercard, for a deep dive into the transformation of global payment infrastructure and the strategic role played by large technology-driven financial institutions. A conversation that goes far beyond cards and transactions, shedding light on how value actually moves in the financial system.We discussed:Mastercard’s evolution from a payment network to a global technology and data company operating at the heart of financial infrastructure.How payments are becoming increasingly invisible, embedded and real-time, while growing in strategic importance for businesses and platforms.The role of data, analytics and AI in fraud prevention, risk management and decision-making across the payment value chain.The balance between innovation, regulation and resilience in a system that must operate continuously at global scale.The transformation of partnerships with banks, fintechs and corporates in an increasingly modular financial ecosystem.How digital identity, tokenisation and new rails are reshaping trust and security in payments.The challenges of governing and operating critical financial infrastructure in a world of accelerating technological change.A clear and insightful conversation on the often unseen layers of finance, showing how payment infrastructure is quietly being rebuilt to support speed, security and global interoperability.Useful links:Jorn Lambert: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jorn-lambert/Mastercard: https://www.mastercard.com********************Finscale is much more than a podcast.
