The International payment system modernizes the service of payment data encryption. From now on tokenization will be spread on mobile applications and e-commerce. Apart from that the company implements data encryption of the brand-name credit cards.
By means of expanding the services, MasterCard will secure payment data of their own clients no matter where they are.
In order to speed up and simplify the purchase process in applications and online, as well as to be able to subscribe for regular payments, such as member fees, stream video subscription, utility bills, customers agree to have the merchants and services providers their payment credentials stored in various databases.
