Mastercard digital payment infrastructure expansions

Overview

Mastercard has entered into strategic partnerships to expand its digital payment and money movement capabilities through various technological integrations.

In late September 2026, Mastercard collaborated with Mambu to integrate the Mastercard Move portfolio with Mambu’s cloud-native banking platform. This initiative aims to simplify cross-border payments for financial institutions and accelerate the delivery of international payment services to retail and SME customers.

By October 2026, Mastercard expanded its focus to East Africa through a five-year partnership with Moovn Technologies. This collaboration targets Kenya and Tanzania, integrating Mastercard’s network with the MoovnPay digital wallet ecosystem. The deal provides users with access to virtual and physical prepaid Mastercard cards and utilizes Mastercard Payment Gateway Services to support merchants in the mobility, logistics, and e-commerce sectors.
