The direct connection, which can be activated instantly, also prevents card declines associated with account changes due to a variety of factors such as expiration dates or new replacement card numbers.
Adyen chief commercial officer Roelant Prins said: “Payments are a critical touchpoint for ensuring uninterrupted service for customers and sustained revenue for merchants.
“Adyen, together with Mastercard’s Account Updater, is focused on making the highest number of payments succeed by automatically updating card data at the point of transaction, preventing involuntary card declines due to expired or replaced cards.”
Mastercard executive vice-president of security and decision products Johan Gerber said: “Today’s consumers have their card information stored at multiple online stores and in the event the card gets replaced, it is an inconvenience to remember and update the card details at all the stores.
