To help small business owners pivot operations and drive more effective marketing and promotions, Mastercard is making its Local Market Intelligence insights solution available through banks and fintechs. The solution is accessible to any small business who accepts card payments; it provides insight into local retail sales patterns, leveraging Mastercard's anonymized data.

Both services will be offered at no cost for three months.

"This crisis has been devastating to millions of small businesses, and I applaud the quick action by the Administration and private sector to provide assistance during this unprecedented time," said Hector Barreto, The Latino Coalition Chairman and former U.S. Small Business Administrator. "It's great to see companies like Mastercard leveraging their assets, technologies and reach to provide small businesses with tools that they need to secure their business and focus on their future. I hope this serves as inspiration for others to do the same."

“The challenges facing small business owners right now are many, including keeping their business afloat while, in many instances, supporting their employees through this crisis,” said Carolyn Rodz, Founder and CEO of Hello Alice. “If we’re going to navigate this epidemic, we need fast-acting, decisive support from both the private and public sectors who act collaboratively in helping to solve these challenges. We’re honored to be a part of Mastercard’s ongoing work to support the small business community and even more so to see them stepping up when times are hardest to ensure that we all come through this stronger on the other side.”

These commitments compliment the ongoing work Mastercard has undertaken to deliver on the unique needs of small business owners. This includes access to day-to-day business management tools and solutions available to the millions of Mastercard small business cardholders through partnerships with Intuit, Salesforce and Microsoft. Expanded offerings with these partners are available to aid small business owners navigating through this crisis. Click here to learn more about Mastercard small business cardholder benefits.
