Our network features an intelligent architecture that adapts to the needs of each transaction by blending two distinct processing structures — distributed (peer-to-peer) and centralized (hub-and-spoke).

The flexibility of our network makes it easy for all customers to connect to Mastercard, no matter their technology.

We enable customers to “integrate once and consume all” our products and services, enabled by resilient and sustainable technology that runs anywhere.

We continuously enhance our network to provide our customers with access to new technologies, payment methods and security solutions.
