One Year in, Mastercard's Checkout Transformation Gains Ground Across Europe
AMSTERDAM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--One year after announcing its vision to phase out manual card entry and drive 100% tokenisation, Mastercard is celebrating major strides across Europe, where a growing number of partners are adopting the technologies that underpin safer, smarter digital commerce. Nearly half of Mastercard e-commerce transactions are now tokenised in Europe. These tokenised transactions, including Secure Card on File (SCOF), Click to Pay, and digital wallets, have increased by over one third in the past year. Merchant tokenisation, known as Secure Card on File (SCOF), is now live in 45 European countries and territories, helping reduce fraud and improve approval rates by replacing card numbers with dynamic, merchant-specific tokens. Click to Pay has expanded to 26 European markets, and enrolments have more than doubled over the past year, streamlining checkout for even more returning users. Meanwhile, payment passkeys are emerging as a breakthrough in digital authentication, allowing users to authenticate with a fingerprint or facial recognition- eliminating passwords. Newly onboarded partners working with Mastercard to accelerate adoption of seamless, secure digital checkout over the past 12 months include: Tokenisation: Delivery Hero (eFood, Foody, Foodora, and Glovo), Global Collect (Worldline), Monext, Santander Click to Pay: Autopay, Consors Finanz BNP Paribas, Fiserv, ICA Banken, Lendable, Nickel, N26, Ogone (Worldline), PayU, SaferPay (Worldline), SIX, and tPay Payment passkeys: Dintero, Netopia, Solidgate 'One year into our 100% tokenisation and authentication journey, Europe is gaining strong momentum,' said Brice van de Walle, Executive Vice President, Core Payments Europe, Mastercard. 'We're working with partners to make digital payments more secure and seamless, through Click to Pay, passkeys, and tokens.' Mastercard research 1 shows that 54% of Europeans feel irritated when asked to create an account at checkout, and 82% report some level of frustration navigating friction-heavy processes. By replacing passwords with passkeys, securely auto filling card details, and using encrypted tokens, Mastercard and its partners are addressing these pain points, making checkout safer and more user-friendly. 'We want to offer the best and most secure payment alternatives to our customers,' said Matias Sanchez, Global Head of Cards and Digital Solutions at Santander. 'With tokenisation, their card details are better protected, making checkout easier, faster, and more secure. Partnering with Mastercard allows us to bring this extra layer of safety, therefore Click to Pay is one of our top priorities.' "Mastercard Payment Passkeys mark a major step toward secure, seamless, and user-friendly digital payments. As the first European processor to combine this with Click to Pay, we're proud to offer a faster, safer, password-free experience, setting a new standard for digital commerce and building on our strong partnership with Mastercard," said Marius Costin, Chief Executive Officer, NETOPIA Payments. Mastercard will continue partnering across the region to expand access, raise consumer awareness, and accelerate adoption, advancing its path toward 100% tokenisation and authentication by 2030. 1 Mastercard nationally representative survey of 18,000 consumers aged 18+ across 12 European countries conducted by 3Gem – between 26th November and 3rd December 2024. *Almost half of Mastercard switched card not present transactions in April 2025 were tokenised. About Mastercard (NYSE: MA) Mastercard powers economies and empowers people in 200+ countries and territories worldwide.

PayPal, Worldline secure approvals in India for cross-border payments
Worldline ePayments India and PayPal Payments have secured regulatory approvals from Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as cross-border payment aggregators. The authorisation to Worldline ePayments India to operate as an Export-Import Payment Aggregator – Cross-Border (PA-CB E&I) enables the company to facilitate online cross-border transactions for both import and export of goods and services. Additionally, Worldline is also authorised to operate as an online Payment Aggregator (PA) and as a Bharat Bill Payment Operating Unit (BBPOU). Worldline offers the advanced payments technology that helps global customers realise their goals. In India, Worldline is the preferred partner for more than 30 leading public and private sector banks, leading sectors like NBFCs, insurance firms, e-commerce businesses, startups, retail brands, hotel chains and several others. Worldline India CEO Ramesh Narasimhan said: 'We've been present in the Indian market for over two decades and have established a leadership position across sectors. We serve merchants in diverse segments such as eCommerce, BFSI, Retail, Utilities, Education, Travel, and Hospitality. This authorisation from the RBI is a strong endorsement of our unwavering commitment to the Indian market. It reaffirms our focus on regulatory compliance and underscores the importance of a secure and well-regulated payments ecosystem.' PayPal Payments, the Indian subsidiary of PayPal Holdings, has secured in-principle approval from the RBI to operate as a Payment Aggregator – Cross Border – Exports (PA-CB-E). PayPal India Government Relations senior director Nath Parameshwaran stated: 'The in-principle PA-CB-E approval by RBI is a significant milestone for PayPal. It reflects the strength of India's regulatory vision and the progress toward seamless, secure cross-border transactions. As India grows into a global export hub, PayPal remains committed to empowering Indian businesses with trusted digital payment solutions.' With the in-principle approval, PayPal can continue providing cross-border payment services within a regulated framework, supporting Indian merchants with improved consistency, transparency, and security in their global transactions. PayPal said the move opens new avenues for localised product innovations, improved customer experiences, and enhanced access to the company's worldwide payment network for large enterprises, small businesses, and freelancers in India. In 2017, PayPal launched domestic services in India. Although it had offered cross-border payments for years, it couldn't process transfers between Indian accounts until then. The launch enabled it to support both customers and merchants with domestic payment options.
