As Asia Pacific shifts rapidly to digital commerce, Mastercard is bringing the next generation of seamless payments to the region with an online checkout solution that eliminates passwords, protects data with smart security and makes transactions a breeze with just a few clicks.Accelerated by COVID-19, digital by default is becoming the norm and shoppers now expect maximum convenience as they seek on-demand goods and services more than ever before. Mastercard research shows e-commerce and touch-free payments will be enduring habits long after the pandemic passes.
To give consumers and merchants the best experience, Mastercard is broadening the reach of the Click to Pay online checkout solution to Asia Pacific as part of a global expansion with American Express, Discover and Visa. Based on the EMV Secure Remote Commerce industry standard, Click to Pay delivers streamlined payments across any digital checkout environment or network.
“Simplicity and security are at the heart of Click to Pay. Rather than having to key in account numbers and personal information every time, people simply click to make online purchases safely and quickly on websites, mobile apps or connected devices,” said Tim Fletcher, Senior Vice President, Acceptance Product Management, Asia Pacific, Mastercard.
“For merchants, Click to Pay drives customer satisfaction and loyalty with a simpler, smoother digital checkout experience that lowers shopping cart abandonment and offers people the choice of paying with various card brands. The intelligent authentication helps to distinguish customers at checkout, reducing fraud and false declines.”
In Asia Pacific, the Click to Pay expansion includes technical preparations in Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand and Singapore, with others to follow. Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Kuwait, Mexico, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom are also among the markets in the first wave of Mastercard’s global rollout of Click to Pay beyond the United States.
