It may still be September, but here at the Mastercard Economics Institute (MEI), we’re already thinking about the holidays. And so, we are releasing our US Holiday Outlook, forecasting the shopping trends and macroeconomic indicators to watch this season. It's a different economic environment this year with tariff-related price pressures, but MEI predicts consumers will continue spending with holiday sales of 3.6% yoy. E-commerce will continue to drive the growth as consumers look for deals. Health is hot this year with gadgets likely to be high on the list along with, of course, influencer-inspired retail. We provide some neat stats on these themes in the report below! Check it out: https://lnkd.in/eShSF_xQ (and the video will give you a fun tour of the NYC tech hub office!) #MastercardEconomicsInstitute #MEI #economy #consumerspending

Tap and go—ATM visits just got smarter! Mastercard’s newest innovation brings together biometric and mobile technology to ATMs, making the banking experience faster, smarter, and more convenient. Thanks to our collaboration with NCR Atleos and ITCARD, cardholders can now authenticate themselves using biometrics on their mobile devices—just like they do at point-of-sale terminals. No need to carry a physical card or enter a PIN. Why it matters: ✅ Faster, frictionless ATM experiences. Contactless ATM transactions using CDCVM are on average over 20% faster than those requiring PIN ✅ Enhanced user experience with secure, familiar mobile biometric authentication ✅ Aligned with growing trend of mobile-first payments We’re shaping the future of ATM access in a digital-first world. #ATMInnovation #DigitalPayments #Contactless #RiskX2025

In today’s world, money is moving faster than ever - across borders, between people, and even from machine to machine. Making this possible is real-time payments and account-to-account (A2A) technology - the quiet, unsung hero of the payments landscape. But as fraud risk continues to rise, governments set out manifestos for modernization, and consumer and business demand for faster payments continues to grow, how can payments infrastructure keep pace? Mastercard’s Helena Forest is joined on 11:FS’s Fintech Insider podcast by Monzo Bank’s Head of Payments Andy Sacre and payabl.’s Group CEO Ugnė B. to discuss the rapid evolution of payments, from how to protect real-time transactions to the role of real-time transactions in commerce. Listen to the full podcast from 11:FS here🎤 https://lnkd.in/eb9qFy9U #RealTimePayments #11:FS #Payments #A2A #FintechInsider
