MasterCard
Global payments network and technology company
About MasterCard
Mastercard is a technology company in the global payments industry. It runs a payments network that connects consumers, financial institutions, merchants, governments and businesses, switching card and account-based transactions in more than 150 currencies across over 220 countries and territories.
Its products include credit, debit, prepaid and commercial payment programs under the Mastercard, Maestro and Cirrus brands, along with tokenization, Click to Pay, cross-border and real-time account-to-account payments, bill payments and open finance. On top of the network it sells value-added services such as cyber security and fraud prevention, identity verification, data analytics and consulting, loyalty and marketing programs, and processing and gateway services.
Its customers are mainly banks and other card issuers, acquirers, fintechs, merchants and governments. Mastercard does not issue cards or extend credit; it earns fees from issuers and acquirers based on payment volume, transactions switched and cross-border activity, plus fixed or transaction-based fees for its services.
