Mastercard cardholders can now tap their cards to pay MRT-3 fares
Commuters riding the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) starting Friday, July 25, can use their Mastercard credit, debit, and prepaid cards to pay for fares —simply by tapping at designated contactless turnstiles. In a statement, Mastercard described the development as a 'significant step' toward a 'more seamless, secure, and digitally enabled public transport system.' It said the new contactless payment capability also extends to Mastercard cardholders using compatible e-wallets on NFC-enabled Android smartphones, offering commuters greater flexibility and convenience in their daily travel. The payments solutions company said the capability reflects the growing momentum behind open-loop payment systems across Southeast Asia, supported by collaboration between government agencies, transit operators, financial institutions, and payment technology partners. Mastercard said open-loop systems allow commuters to use existing bank cards or mobile wallets to pay directly for rides, eliminating the need for proprietary transit cards or cash and reducing friction in fare payments. Commuters paying with their Mastercard cards will also benefit from peace of mind with the embedded advanced safety and security features that protect them against card skimming and payment fraud, the payments tech firm said. Mastercard said the introduction of contactless payments on MRT-3 supports the government's push for smarter, more efficient urban mobility — while also encouraging the everyday use of digital payments. The company said it has enabled open-loop transit systems in major cities around the world — including London, Sydney, and Singapore. — Ted Cordero/RSJ, GMA Integrated News
