The company will roll out the solution in the UK, with plans to expand the launch to Europe in due course.

This will enable even more consumers to utilise the transformative benefits of Open Banking and access direct and seamless transactions, noted the company.
Mode chief commercial officer Rita Liu said: “Today’s announcement is an exciting step in our mission to disrupt the payments and loyalty landscape, and turn the Mode app into a financial super app – one that allows the digital native, modern consumer of today to grow their wealth and spend smarter with merchants.
Liu added: “We’ve had a fantastic response so far from both customers and merchants on this new proposition, and look forward to building our solution to meet this demand. We will be announcing the names of our launch partners in due course.”
Last October, Mastercard launched a new business-to-business (B2B) payment solution in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region to aid businesses in their payment mechanism.
