What it means
- Today’s digitally savvy consumers are driving a paradigm shift in payments, demanding choice, control and personalisation. Gen Zers, in particular, are embracing personalised solutions tailored to their preferences, according to Mastercard research.
- These insights sparked the creation of One Credential, announced earlier this year, with several key partners committing to bring the solution to consumers globally.
- As consumers’ preferences evolve throughout their lives, financial institutions can offer more ways to pay. With a single card and a simple Digital First experience, consumers can access multiple payment options as they progress on their financial journeys.
