Under the partnership, MasterCard will share its knowledge and expertise in payment technology, with the retailers and merchants in MRCA’s network.
The collaboration will enable the implementation of new payment propositions that will allow merchants to realise the advantages of electronic payments.
MasterCard country manager for Malaysia and Brunei Perry Ong said: “We are pleased to embark on this collaboration with MRCA to offer simple, safe and smart e-payment propositions to help retailers and merchants grow and support them as they are increasingly going digital.
“These propositions are vital in providing a safe and secured infrastructure for payment transactions and also in helping them boost operational efficiencies.
