At the beginning of October, 25 maib employees, representing all the bank’s divisions, had an unforgettable experience in Turkey. They met with representatives of Mastercard's regional headquarters in Istanbul, discussing innovative technologies, global and regional trends, neo-banks, open banking, case studies, and current topics such as data protection, digital banking, cryptocurrency, etc.
The ultra-intensive program included visits to banks in Istanbul that apply innovative approaches in banking and create experiences beyond customer expectations, including in the digital part, but also start-ups that manage to revolutionize the service market, expanding rapidly in both the West and the US.
"Everyone has its own Everest" - was the generic of the motivational speech given by the mountaineer Sergey Kofanov, who conquered the heights of Everest twice and who, from his own experience, spoke about the power of team spirit, the importance of team roles, transformative experiences, pushing limits, achieving goals and at the same time maintaining empathy, humanity and common sense throughout this itinerary.
Inspired to test their limits and surpass themselves, the maib and Mastercard teams hiked on the Lycian route, climbing the 407m peak of Chimera and hoisting the flag with the maib and Mastercard logos. And because the climb wasn't easy, and team spirit was a must, a traditional dance was held on the top of the mountain (between us, even Stefan cel Mare would have been proud of his descendants).
Climbing the mountain synchronized with a significant date for maib – the first anniversary since rebranding, the Mastercard team's surprise gift on this occasion was the design of the maib logo in the historic center of Antalya.
Wow, amazing, extraordinary, priceless, friendship, gratitude, superlative - these are just some of the qualifications given by the participants of this extraordinary experience lived with Mastercard, conquering together the most beautiful peaks, literally and figuratively, and motivating them to apply good practices in their daily professional activities and personal transformation.
Maib and Mastercard have been developing a successful partnership over several years, managing to launch various cards with multiple benefits for customers on the market, supporting smart city development efforts in the capital by implementing the electronic ticketing project in public transport, supporting the country's traditions and major cultural events, such as the "An evening in the park", "Eugen Doga-85" concerts, Street & Food Festival, National Wine Day 2022; contribute to the development of the Fintech industry, supporting Fintech Conference Moldova, Fintech Hub, etc. Investing in maib people and their professional potential is another direction supported by Mastercard, the trip to Turkey being one of the actions in this regard that aligns the teams to advance together to new heights.
Maib, together with reliable partners such as Mastercard, climb new heights! Together to the top!
