UK-based retail and commercial bank NatWest has enabled Click to Pay service for all its customers with a Mastercard debit card, to make online shopping safe and easy for them.
Click to Pay is a digital wallet that allows users to create a single, secure profile which enables them to store multiple payment cards, and it works on any device.
It eliminates the need to remember a password or requires entering personal information and card details and provides multiple layers of security.
NatWest and Mastercard jointly worked to automatically register its customers, who can use the service without signing up, using the Click to Pay logo.
Customers using Mastercard debit cards issued by NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland or Ulster Bank have been registered for the service.
NatWest will extend the Click to Pay service to its credit card customers in the next few months.
NatWest payment schemes, partnerships and commercial head Salim Secretary said: “Click to Pay combines advanced security with speed and convenience.
“With this in mind, we’ve made it as easy as possible for customers to start using Click to Pay, there is no sign-up required and the service can be used on any site with the Click to Pay logo.”
According to Mastercard, fraudsters are using advanced techniques to scam online shoppers, which requires even more advanced payment methods with security at their core.
In addition to providing enhanced fraud protection, Click to Pay makes the checkout process fast and easy for shoppers, with just one click.
Previously, NatWest Group converted its retail and business debit cards to Mastercard.
In addition to providing Click to Pay to its customers, NatWest is working with Mastercard to use AI technology to stop scams before funds leave a victim’s account.
Mastercard UK and Ireland president Kelly Devine said: “Most people still use guest checkouts when they shop online, so Click to Pay saves hassle and the need to remember lots of different passwords.
“Around one in three consumer debit cards in the UK are now issued on Mastercard’s network, and we’re working with our partners, like NatWest, to make sure their customers have access to the very best payments innovation and technology.”
