Mastercard Embraces Digital Identification and Open Banking to Enhance Global Payment Networks and Expand into New Territories Samantha Johnson, April 30, 2024 In the coming years, Mastercard is determined to enhance its global payment networks and expand into new territories. A major priority for the company is to integrate digital identification and open banking into its core payment services. Digital identification has become increasingly important for accessing government services and online shopping in many countries, while open banking assets provide connectivity to a vast number of deposit accounts in the US and Europe, improving the customer experience for services like bill pay from companies like Verizon and Worldpay. Mastercard’s commitment to building a smarter, safer, and more inclusive digital future is evident in its efforts to innovate and create value for its customers, partners, account holders, and shareholders. Looking ahead to 2024, the company remains focused on providing high-quality payment services that meet the daily expectations of its customers. Economy
