Worldpay has teamed up with Mastercard to optimise money movement for consumers and businesses across the UAE through Mastercard Move.
As part of this collaboration, the Worldpay Push-to-Card solution is set to support a range of efficient, simplified domestic and cross-border payouts to cards, including gig economy payouts, insurance claims, and withdrawals of crypto proceeds, assisted by Mastercard’s security services and infrastructure. In addition to the UAE, Worldpay’s Push-to-Card solution is currently available to merchants in the UK, EU, US, and Australia.
Mastercard Move offers banks, non-bank financial institutions, and their customers, including direct disbursers, with safe money transfer solutions, both domestically and internationally. The portfolio of solutions is available in over 200 countries and more than 150 currencies, with access to approximately 95% of the world’s banked population.
Efficient access to funds
The partnership between Worldpay and Mastercard will enable consumers to benefit from faster access to funds, while businesses will gain access to more effective disbursement capabilities, without the need to share banking details. The service allows Worldpay’s merchants to utilise their acquiring flows to fund payouts, optimising operations and minimising reliance on multiple providers.
Furthermore, representatives from Mastercard emphasised that working with Worldpay is set to accelerate the shift toward digital transactions, scale financial inclusion, and support advancement in the UAE. Additionally, the collaboration assists Mastercard’s commitment to building a digital ecosystem by facilitating simplified payment options that cater to diverse customer bases and use cases.
Recently, Worldpay also joined forces with Trulioo to boost security in AI-driven commerce, with the two companies aiming to roll out new safeguards. The move sought to improve trust, consent, and accountability in digital payments increasingly influenced by AI. The two companies planned to launch smart controls to manage AI agents effectively, with verified agents gaining access to commerce platforms, while unverified agents encountered friction and malicious bots were automatically blocked.
