Walmart enhances digital payments with MasterCard's MasterPass

PURCHASE, N.Y. - MasterCard on Monday announced that Walmart will accept the digital payments platform MasterPass in 2016 across its domestic online properties.

 

“We have enjoyed a longstanding business relationship with Walmart and are pleased to expand this into the online and mobile channels through MasterPass,” stated Michael Cyr, group executive, U.S. Market Development, MasterCard. “With MasterPass, consumers can go online, place their order and pay with just a click. The burden of entering delivery and billing information is eliminated, further enhancing the Walmart online customer experience.”
