🚀 25+ years in Georgia: Mastercard is woven into the country’s everyday payments

🇬🇪 Mastercard has been operating in Georgia for more than 25 years and has long become part of the country’s payment infrastructure.

💳 Cards still remain the primary payment method in Georgia, ahead of local wallets.

But the market itself is evolving rapidly:
— nearly 50% of the population is under 35, and users expect seamless digital payment experiences
— contactless payments continue to grow
— new players are entering the market: fintech companies, PSPs, and crypto projects

🤝 Mastercard is not standing aside. The company is actively building partnerships and helping new businesses launch card programs across the region.

🎤 Friends and we’re also happy to announce that David Zgudadze, Vice-President at Mastercard in Georgia and Armenia, will be among the speakers and participants at FUTURUM PAYMENTS

David oversees Mastercard’s strategy across Georgia and Armenia and works with banks, fintechs and payment providers launching new products in the region.

🌍 If you want to expand your professional network, find new partners, or better understand the opportunities emerging across Georgia and the wider region, FUTURUM PAYMENTS brings together regional and global leaders in banking, payments, and crypto.
