IFZA × Mastercard: AI-driven business registration
what is it about
Announced 11 August 2025, a tri-party collaboration between Mastercard, IFZA, and Global Tax Assistant launches an AI-powered onboarding flow for business setup. Automation spans form-filling, document checks, and communication — with discounted services for Mastercard business cardholders. The pilot is among the first of its kind in the region and ties into the UAE’s SME and digital-economy strategies. For founders, it promises faster time-to-licence and fewer admin reworks.
