Nearly 70 companies presented new products at the event, which showcases some of the best new innovations in financial and banking technology from a mixture of leading, established companies and brand-new start-ups.

After registering and downloading offers, the offers will then be linked to cardholders' MasterCard accounts, and they can redeem them by paying with their cards. Customers will be able to download offers with their mobile phones as well, by scanning a QR code or entering the coupon number manually.
