At Mastercard, we believe it’s our responsibility to foster a digital economy that works for everyone, everywhere. The Government Affairs and Policy team at Mastercard established the Mastercard Policy Center for the Digital Economy (PCDE) to serve as a global forum and resource that creates the ideas, insights, and inspiration that drive the decision-making on the critical economic and policy issues that shape the digital economy.

As digital transactions become more ubiquitous, intelligent and engrained in every aspect of our daily lives, it’s imperative that we remain focused on a core set of principles designed to enable a trusted, innovative and interoperable digital payments ecosystem that works for everyone, everywhere. Our mission is to engage a wide array of stakeholders to bring a diverse and informed set of perspectives to the topics and issues that will define the digital economy.
