I haven't investigated this in-depth yet, but here's what it looks like to me:
Because of PSD2, the global banking industry will be forced to open up their internal APIs to third parties..
And what Mastercard seems to be doing, is trying to jump ahead of the curve by saying "look everyone, we're opening up our APIs because we believe in decentralization and blockchain so much!".
Again, I haven't examined this in-depth yet (I'm at work), so feel free to contradict me if I'm wrong.
