MONEI, the fintech driving business growth with innovative payment solutions, has been chosen to take part in the fifth edition of the Visa Innovation Program Europe (VIPE) in Spain and Portugal, an initiative led by Visa that connects European fintechs with key players in the financial ecosystem to accelerate the validation and commercialisation of their solutions.

Through this programme, MONEI will gain access to specialised mentoring, technical and strategic resources, as well as Visa’s global network of partners. This environment allows them to work directly with major corporations and financial institutions, facilitating the identification of real business opportunities and the development of solutions aligned with market needs.

In the words of Alex Saiz Verdaguer, CEO and founder of MONEI: “Being part of the Visa Innovation Program Europe reinforces MONEI’s position within the European fintech ecosystem and enables us to continue accelerating the validation of our technology in real-world settings. We will also gain direct insights into the needs of large corporations and financial institutions, which will help us refine our value proposition and prioritise developments with real business impact.”

For Eduardo Prieto, Managing Director of Visa Spain: “In this sixth edition of the Visa Innovation Program Europe, we are further consolidating a platform that has already supported more than 100 startups in Europe. Our objective is to generate genuine connections between fintech and financial institutions, fostering collaborations and strategic alliances that would rarely happen outside this environment.”

Since its launch in 2022, the programme has included more than 120 fintechs and has facilitated 13 official partnerships between startups and sector institutions. In the 2025 edition, its reach was expanded to seven new markets in the Baltic and Nordic countries, now covering 14 European markets.

MONEI will participate alongside Coalex.ai, Dalatea, Lendit/LIA, Lympid, and Unicage in a programme presented today at Visa’s offices in Torre Picasso.
