LONDON, United Kingdom, 7 May 2026 – Unipaas, the AI-native embedded payments provider for SaaS platforms, today announced that it has been selected to join Mastercard Start Path’s Acceptance track , a global program launched by Mastercard to open its doors to high-potential fintech startups that share its mission to grow the value of digital payments and transactions for ecosystem partners.
Unipaas’ acceptance into Mastercard Start Path marks an important milestone in the company’s growth journey and reflects the increasing demand for fully managed embedded payments infrastructure built specifically for software platforms.

The selection comes as vertical SaaS platforms increasingly look to own more of the payments journey, improve operational efficiency for their customers and unlock new revenue streams through embedded financial services.
