Introducing Mastercard Move Commercial Payments to power near real-time commercial cross-border payments 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
Mastercard introduced a new product innovation, Mastercard Move Commercial Payments, that will enable banks to facilitate near real-time, predictable and transparent commercial cross-border payments. The new solution, revealed in Beijing at the annual Sibos conference, aims to simplify operations, optimize liquidity, reduce counterparty risk and provide end-to-end visibility for banks and their customers.
Cross-border payments have been growing at double-digit rates, according to data from McKinsey, as businesses expand their supply chains and operations internationally. Despite this, banks still grapple with several pain points which are passed on to their business customers in the shape of slow and unpredictable cross-border payments that lack pricing transparency. Mastercard Move Commercial Payments aims to address existing challenges and capitalize on opportunities in commercial cross-border payments in an innovative way.
