Mastercard, a leader in payments technology, unveiled Mastercard Wallet Pay, a white-label solution for financial institutions, telecommunications and FinTech companies, that can help them develop and operate their digital wallets on a global scale. The new product uses a combination of tokenization, biometrics, and settlement rails for cross-border transactions, all put together into an integrated software solution – this way, card issuers and digital wallet providers can offer branded mobile payment services without having to build a payment platform from ground up.
Around the world, the way consumers make payments is changing as people increasingly prefer contactless payment methods, embedded finance and digital first banking. To keep up with this demand, the financial industry is under great pressure to offer secure, hassle-free payment tools.
Standardizing Security, Tokenization, and Global Reach
One of the core architectural features of Mastercard Wallet Pay is that it is naturally integrated with Mastercard Digital Enablement Service (MDES). The system Really helps reduce the threat of fraudulent transactions and, at the same time, keeps the payment approval rates very high by doing away and replacing vulnerable original card numbers with safely generated tokens through cryptography which allows the use of Mastercards in different forms without any loss in functionality.
