Mastercard

Overview

Mastercard Inc. is a global payments technology company based in Purchase, New York. Founded in 1966, it began as the Interbank Card Association to compete with Bank of America's BankAmericard. The company operates a payment network that facilitates electronic transactions through branded credit, debit, and prepaid cards, which are accepted at over 37 million businesses across more than 210 countries and territories.

Throughout its history, the company has driven innovation and significant expansion, launching various services such as the Maestro debit network and e-commerce solutions.

It is recognized as the world's second-largest card network, following Visa.
