Mastercard tests instant cross-currency payments on TIPS platform
Article Summary
HOLD- Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE: MAIN) is taking part in a Eurosystem-led pilot on the TARGET Instant Payment Settlement platform to test instant cross-currency payments (TIPS X-CCY), with Danmarks Nationalbank and Sveriges Riksbank, central banks of Denmark and Sweden participating in the pilot.
- Mastercard Move, Mastercard's global money movement platform, was among the first participants to process transactions, with payments settled atomically between euros and Danish kroner, with both currency legs completed at the same time.
- Mastercard Incorporated said the pilot is a key milestone in its strategy to build direct connectivity to payment infrastructures, with Mastercard Transfer Solutions global head Pratik Khowala describing it as a new model where payments can move across borders and currencies with fewer intermediaries and greater predictability.
