  • Mastercard launched its 'virtual wallet' which allowed customers to keep their personal payment details on their phone and scan bar codes to avoid checkouts.

    MasterPass allowed the customers to pay without reaching the cashier.

    It worked by releasing digital receipts on their cell phones when they scanned the bar codes, which can be shown when they exit the stores.

  • MasterCard partnered with Zwipe to build the world's first credit card that is a combination of contactless payment technology and biometric authentication.

    This technology aimed to replace PIN entry, which entailed that cardholders will be able to make payments of any amount instead of a prepaid amount.

    The cardholder's fingerprint would be used to verify each transaction at the payment terminal.

    Credits:
  • MasterCard Incorporated will increase the ease of payment services by giving tokenization to merchants, allowing banks that issue the card to reinstate MasterCard debit, credit and prepaid card account numbers with a token.

    This token will be a new 16-digit number and not an actual account number; hence it has no information which may lead to frauds and cyber thefts.
