Netherlands-based payment service provider for online
merchants PayU has teamed up with Mastercard to introduce new cross-border
issuer authentication solutions. The new service promises to enhance global
payments by offering merchants, issuers, and consumers a better payment
experience across multiple markets.

According to a report by Inc42, PayU introduced these
solutions at the Global Fintech Festival 2024, highlighting a focus on
simplicity, convenience, and security for all stakeholders in the payments
ecosystem.

Enhancing Cross-Border Transactions

The newly launched cross-border issuer authentication
solution is designed to allow issuers to instantly connect to an authentication
platform. This enables them to identify and authorize non-3D secure
international e-commerce payments.

The system also enhances fraud detection, ensuring
compliance with global regulatory standards. PayU’s solution promises to
improve the overall security and efficiency of international transactions,
benefiting merchants by reducing the complexities and risks associated with
cross-border payments.

PayU’s collaboration with Mastercard is part of a
broader strategy to enhance its digital payment platform through strategic
partnerships. Earlier this week, PayU rolled out a push provisioning platform
in partnership with major card networks, including Visa and Mastercard, to
facilitate seamless card tokenization between banks and merchants.

This initiative aims to increase the security and
convenience of online card transactions, further solidifying PayU’s position in
the global payments landscape.

Amazon Pay Later

Additionally, PayU has integrated Amazon Pay Later
into its checkout infrastructure to enable online merchants to offer instant,
flexible credit options to their customers. As PayU continues to expand its
global footprint, the company is reportedly exploring options for a public
listing in India.

Expect ongoing updates as this story evolves.
