Our back story: Mastercard was first to introduce contactless card payments in 2001; and soon after in only 2002 introduced the first mobile phone contactless payment. Twenty years ago! A decade later, Mastercard’s mobile payment application and MDES enabled the introduction of Apple Pay, followed shortly after by Google Pay and Samsung Pay. In the almost ten years since, mobile payments on the Mastercard network have grown to tens of billions of transactions a year and there are many more “- Pay” digital wallet options available, all over the world. MDES is also securing your cards on file with merchants such as Netflix and Amazon, so that card information is replaced by tokenized data and every transaction is cryptographically secured using similar technology to those used in digital wallets. It also secures the cards in “Click To Pay”, the new way of making online payments safer that is supported by Mastercard and all the other payment networks. MDES has scaled beyond its origins and has become the critical enabler for making even more online payments safer.
