The Mastercard difference

For more than 60 years, we’ve led the industry in payments innovation and security at scale.

Financial data belongs to the consumer, so it only makes sense to us that they should control and fully benefit from it. Mastercard Open Finance understands this, too. Together, we’ve been able to empower millions of consumers to leverage that data and improve their credit score, with millions more to come.
