Payments company Mastercard unveiled its Click-to-Pay service in the UAE that allows customers to make quick and secure online payments.
The service was first announced in the US in October 2019, followed by the Asia-Pacific region in July last year.
It replaces the time-consuming process of filling out of account details at the checkout stage with a digital icon or button. Users are not required to store their sensitive data with participating merchants.
The UAE will benefit from Click-to-Pay’s “simple and safe technology”, said Girish Nanda, Mastercard’s country manager for the UAE and Pakistan.
“With a unique one-time code issued for the first-time user when they are ready to checkout, shoppers can make purchases across a broad merchant network without worrying about fraud . transforming the digital shopping space for businesses of all sizes as the barriers to checkout diminish for consumers,” said Mr Nanda on Sunday.
