UBER Expands Mastercard Deal: Is the Growth Story Strengthening?

In a customer-friendly move, Uber Technologies UBER expanded its deal with Mastercard MA. The extended global deal aims to streamline payment processes for drivers, couriers and consumers while enhancing benefits for cardholders. The expanded partnership with Mastercard offers Uber significant benefits, strengthening operational efficiency and enhancing its appeal to both drivers and customers. As part of the renewed collaboration, Uber will integrate multiple Mastercard products and services. These include Mastercard Move for real-time payouts, Mastercard One Credential to simplify payment experiences and Mastercard Gateway to streamline collections and support secure business operations. The Uber Pro Card, already available in the United States and Canada, has been renewed in these markets and will expand to new regions such as the United Kingdom. This card allows drivers and couriers to receive instant, no-cost payments after each trip or delivery, along with benefits like cash-back rewards on fuel purchases. These benefits associated with the expanded deal with Mastercard provide enhanced value for Uber's global user base, all while supporting the ride-hailing giant's growth. We believe that the collaboration represents another step to further Uber's growth by improving payment experiences, expanding geographic reach and reinforcing loyalty among its driver and rider base. Expressing delight at the deepening of the collaboration, Karl Hebert, Uber's vice president of global commerce stated: 'At the heart of this partnership is a desire to grow benefits for all our mutual customers, be it the businesses that rely on Uber to earn each day, or those using the platform to Go Anywhere and Get Anything.' Taking a Look at LYFT's Association With MA Uber's rival in the ride-hailing market, Lyft LYFT, too, has an association with Mastercard. The tie-up aims at providing benefits to both Lyft drivers and riders. The benefits include the Lyft Direct debit card for drivers. This facilitates instant payouts and other benefits, as well as rewards and promotions for riders using Mastercard when paying for Lyft rides. The Lyft-Mastercard association extends to Bay Wheels. This move allows users to earn and save with their Mastercard when paying for Lyft rides, including Bay Wheels, a public bike-sharing system in the Bay Area with a large number of bikes and stations. The Bay Wheels system is operated and managed by Lyft. It is accessible through the Lyft app. Uber's Price Performance, Valuation and Estimates Shares of UBER have gained 50.2% so far this year compared with the Zacks Internet-Services industry's 3.8% rise in the same timeframe.

Mastercard to Expand Crypto Team With Two Senior Hires to Drive Blockchain Initiatives

Mastercard is deepening its push into crypto with plans to hire two senior leaders focused on digital assets and blockchain. The payments giant is recruiting for a Vice President, Head of Digital Assets Ecosystem Growth, and a Vice President, Head of Financial Institutions (FI) Growth, both based in the U.S. 'Excited to share two open roles on my team as Mastercard continues to build the next generation of payments and drive innovation across digital assets,' Raj Dhamodharan, Mastercard's head of crypto and blockchain, wrote in a LinkedIn post. The first role will oversee strategic partnerships across the digital asset sector, working with issuers, infrastructure providers and startups to scale solutions like Mastercard's Multi-Token Network (MTN) and Crypto Credential. The second role will focus on collaborating with financial institutions to develop blockchain uses, such as business payments, cross-border transactions and tokenized assets. Mastercard has been among the most active traditional finance firms exploring crypto, establishing ties across the ecosystem for years. Most recently, the company announced plans to integrate more stablecoins into its global payments network, building on existing support for Circle's USDC. It is also rolling out stablecoin-based cross-border transactions through Mastercard Move. In an interview with CoinDesk earlier this year, Dhamodharan said Mastercard's goal is to act as a bridge between blockchain networks and traditional finance, providing regulatory clarity while enabling new business models. He added that financial institutions need to 'be very open to making [crypto] available as broadly as possible.'Melden Sie sich an, um Ihr Portfolio aufzurufen.

Bank Islam first to roll out Mastercard Move in Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR: Bank Islam Malaysia Bhd has adopted Mastercard Move, becoming the first financial institution in the country to implement the digital fund transfer solution that enables seamless transactions within Malaysia and across international borders. The solution, integrated directly with Mastercard's global network, is aimed at simplifying operations, optimising liquidity, and enhancing visibility for both the bank and its corporate clients. In a statement today, the new service will be available through Bank Islam's digital cash management platform, eBanker Pro, in the third quarter of this year. Bank Islam group chief business officer of institutional banking Sharifah Sarah Syed Mohamed Tahir said this initiative provides an efficient and secure cross-border digital money movement service for customers. "By conducting a foreign outward telegraphic transfer (FOTT), customers can complete the FOTT transaction within 15 minutes of submission. "We achieve this by providing faster transactions, cost-effective currency exchange rates, enhanced security, and customised solutions supported by Mastercard's global expertise in payment technology," she said. Sharifah added that the strategic alliance with Mastercard marks a major milestone in the group's digital transformation journey. This year in February, Bank Islam processed nearly 4,000 cross-border transactions worth over RM169 million. With the implementation of Mastercard Move, Bank Islam expects transaction volumes to grow by up to 20 per cent this year, supported by faster processing and an improved customer experience. The solution supports a wide range of payout options, including bank accounts, digital wallets, cards or cash, depending on market needs. Mastercard Move currently serves more than 200 countries and supports over 150 currencies. Meanwhile, Mastercard Malaysia and Brunei country manager Beena Pothen said Bank Islam's adoption of the platform signals progress in creating a more inclusive and digitally empowered economy. "As cross-border payments become increasingly critical for individuals, SMEs, and large corporates, Mastercard Move offers a fast, secure, and transparent way to transfer funds both locally and internationally. This collaboration supports Malaysia's Madani Economy and MyDigital blueprint," Beena said.
