Welcome to a special edition of the Tearsheet Podcast. I’m Zack Miller.

Today we’re awarding a winner of our Bank/Fintech Partnership Award for 2020. Mastercard and Signzy are receiving the Customer Journey Award for the work they’ve done together tackling merchant onboarding.

I’m joined by Zahir Khoja, evp for merchant solutions and partnerships at Mastercard, and Arpit Ratan, co-founder of Signzy. I’ll let them explain the nature of their partnership. Our judges chose this partnership based on four criteria: creativity, innovative thinking, customer value and results.

Zahir and Arpit are my guests today on the Tearsheet Podcast.
