What Mastercard is.
Mastercard is a global card payment network that connects cardholders, issuing banks, merchants, acquirers and payment providers. Your customers pay with Mastercard-branded credit, debit or prepaid cards across web, app and physical commerce.
For merchants, Mastercard is a familiar payment rail that scales for local and international customers. It supports standard card checkout as well as stored-credential and recurring payments when the customer has authorised them.
Mastercard’s tokenisation can replace sensitive card details with payment tokens, supporting digital commerce and a simpler checkout for returning customers.
