10Clouds Financial Institutions Selected for the Mastercard Start Path Agentic Commerce & Services Program

WARSAW, September 2, 2026

10Clouds Financial Institutions has been selected for the Mastercard Start Path Agentic Commerce & Services program. We join the inaugural Agentic Commerce & Services cohort, the largest Start Path cohort to date, alongside companies selected from around the world.

Mastercard Start Path is a global startup engagement program supporting some of the most promising fintech and technology companies worldwide. Since 2014, the program has worked with more than 500 startups across 60+ countries, helping them access Mastercard's global ecosystem, partnerships, expertise and opportunities to scale. The Agentic Commerce & Services track, opened in January 2026, focuses on companies building agent platforms, agent-native tools and services, and emerging agentic payment flows.

Why this matters

We believe Agentic Commerce will fundamentally change how consumers and businesses discover, compare and purchase products and services, making those experiences faster, more convenient and far more personalized.

It will also create a new distribution environment for financial services. Payments, financing, insurance and other financial products will increasingly need to be available directly within AI-driven customer journeys and business processes. This is exactly where we see a major opportunity for 10Clouds Financial Institutions and AIConsole, our platform for agentic workflows and agentic commerce in financial services.

What we will do in the program

• Build on our existing collaboration with Mastercard, extending work that started with the Virtual Branch video banking platform into agentic customer journeys.
• Work alongside the other companies in the cohort, from agentic payments and AI shopping to identity, trust, merchant enablement and financial infrastructure.
• Contribute to how Agentic Commerce develops in practice, bringing the regulatory, security and auditability constraints of banks and insurers into the design of agent-driven products.

"Being selected for the Agentic Commerce & Services track is an important milestone for us. This is exactly where we see a major opportunity for 10Clouds Financial Institutions and AIConsole. We're extremely proud to join this global community and excited about what comes next," said Karol Stępień, CEO of 10Clouds Financial Institutions.
