The agreement will authorize Quatrro to operate MasterCard Interface Processors (MIPs) without the support of any sponsoring bank. The MIPs facilitate processing of credit and debit card transactions in real time and provide a link between Bank's/Processor's host and the MasterCard Network.
Quatrro, through this approval, also received an acquiring bin of its own that allows it to offer merchant acquiring services directly after obtaining necessary approvals from Reserve Bank of India.
Rajesh Dhuddu, senior vice president at Quatrro said: "The push towards digital payments across India especially after the demonetization exercise can yield very good results only if the payment processing infrastructure is available at affordable price points and without the need to incur significant upfront capital expenditure.
“With this approval from MasterCard, Quatrro is uniquely poised to address all these requirements especially of the financial institutions that belong to the long tail market."
