BNY Mellon Treasury Services and MasterCard Worldwide have said that BNY Mellon will be integrating the MasterCard Payment Gateway into its suite of payment solutions for corporate clients.

MasterCard has claimed that complementing the ACH, wire transfer and check payment services already available from BNY Mellon, its Payment Gateway will allow BNY Mellon clients to take advantage of the speed, cost efficiency, security and disbursements management benefits of electronic B-to-B card payments as part of a comprehensive array of payment alternatives.

The payment gateway will help the company to expand how it addresses its corporate customers’ needs across a set of spend categories and large value payments.

Al Briand, managing director and head of product development and strategic development at BNY Mellon Treasury, said: “Making the benefits of electronic payments processing more readily accessible to our clients is a key strategic focus for us. The ability of new, innovative B-to-B card programs to deliver the advantages of straight through processing – speed, reliability, efficiency and compatibility with advanced cash management strategies and systems – make them a perfect fit for our suite of payment solutions.”

Shari Krikorian, vice president of innovative platforms at MasterCard Worldwide, said: “With payments as our core business, MasterCard is focused on providing BNY Mellon and its corporate clients with flexible payment processing capabilities that can easily integrate with and enhance existing ERP and electronic invoicing investments.

“The global scope of BNY Mellon’s payments program, its track record for innovation and knack for incorporating client-friendly modular enhancements to its platforms make it an important addition to our growing roster of Payment Gateway users, and we look forward to working with BNY Mellon on the successful integration of the Gateway into its suite of solutions.”
