The expansion of MasterCard online payments services will boost the business of thousands of Australian merchants across different e-commerce categories, by allowing users to buy goods and services quickly, easily and securely online.

MasterCard market development and innovation for Australasia head said, "Having so many technology partners onboard illustrates the increasing consumer demand for digital wallets."

"MasterPass technology offers shoppers peace of mind that their personal details are safe, as well as a wider selection of payment options and quicker transaction times, which can ultimately translate into increased customer satisfaction and an uplift in sales."

MasterPass technology was debuted in Australia in February 2013, with a strategy to simplify digital payment structure for the consumers and merchants.

It empowers online merchants to increase the checkout process, assist to decrease the number of abandoned shopping carts, while enabling shoppers to take shortcuts to easily access all their payment, loyalty and shipping information.
