Authorization and authentication: How Mastercard is making your payments secure

MANILA, Philippines — Cash was once king among Filipinos. Today, however, card payments are becoming more common in our day-to-day lives, a change driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Many now opt to do cashless transactions to complete payments easier and to minimize contact with other people. But when it comes to matters that involve finances and payments, convenience is just one thing.

Safe and secure transactions are just as important. But can we get both at the same time? With a Mastercard, yes!

Mastercard has developed ways to optimize its card payment process, while adding extra layers of security, to allow everyone to checkout and pay for their carts easier, faster and with peace of mind. 

Optimized card payment process leads to increased approvals, reduced fraud and better buying experiences.
