Global Payments has announced that it will implement MasterPass to allow consumers to use any payment card or enabled device for an enhanced shopping experience.
With the new service, Global Payments North American merchants will now have the ability to offer their shoppers a convenient way to pay via the internet or a mobile device.
“Online sales continue to grow at a significant rate, driving increased competition and access to more consumers. To attract and retain those consumers, merchants need to offer a consistent, simple shopping experience,” said Jay Rising, President – Americas for Global Payments. “We are excited to offer MasterPass as part of our commitment to our merchants as a partner of choice to provide valuable services for a new era in digital commerce.”
“Consumers have an expectation, regardless of whether they are shopping in the physical or digital realm, for a secure and convenient experience,” said Michael Cyr, group executive, U.S. Customer Delivery at MasterCard. “And it’s those merchants who deliver on that expectation who will drive consumer loyalty. We are thrilled to be working with Global Payments to deliver the MasterPass digital service to their merchants and their shoppers. This simplicity keeps consumers happy, keeps them coming back and helps establish a merchant as a selected destination for commerce.”
