Mastercard today unveiled a pilot of its One Credential solution in India with City Union Bank (CUB), introducing the country’s first such experience that brings consumer and commercial payment relationships together under a single tokenized credential.
Mastercard One Credential is designed for both consumers and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), allowing multiple eligible payment relationships to be linked to a primary card. Cardholders can set rules based on transaction amount, merchant category, channel, to name a few, ensuring transactions are automatically routed to the appropriate underlying source of funding when the primary card is used at checkout. They can also update these preferences at any time to reflect their evolving financial needs.
