MasterCard has announced the launch of MasterPass, its global digital service in Poland.
uPaid will be the first partner to leverage the MasterPass platform to enable its digital uPaid wallet. MasterPass will replace and enhance the MasterCard Mobile platform, which has already been present in Poland. uPaid will automatically switch its current users of MasterCard Mobile over to the uPaid wallet.
“In the recent years we have successfully supported the MasterCard Mobile project as part of which more than 30,000 users relied on mobile payments in that technology. I am glad that as MasterCard’s partner we are able to be the first to allow our customers access to a new shopping experience at more than 500 Polish merchants as part of MasterPass”, said Marcin Kopyś, CEO at uPaid.
“At MasterCard we have always valued innovative payment technologies. The launch of MasterPass is the evidence of this approach. It is an excellent tool facilitating shopping experience to both consumers and merchants. Thanks to that we are able to offer new quality to dynamically growing e-commerce entities in that way opening global markets to Polish shops and consumers,” says Bartosz Ciołkowski, General Manager Poland at the MasterCard Europe.
