Mambu and Mastercard Partner to Simplify Cross-Border Payments for Financial Institutions
The integration will enable financial institutions to offer cross-border payment capabilities within digital banking journeys, creating a more seamless customer experience.
Mambu and Mastercard have announced a strategic collaboration that will make it easier for financial institutions using Mambu to offer fast, secure and transparent cross-border payments.
Through this collaboration, Mambu will connect Mastercard Move, Mastercard’s portfolio of global money movement capabilities, with its Intelligent Core, a cloud-native core banking and payments platform built to process, orchestrate and extend financial services at scale. This will give Mambu customers a pre-built connection to integrate Mastercard Move’s cross-border payment capabilities, helping reduce implementation complexity and accelerate time to market.
The integration will enable financial institutions to offer cross-border payment capabilities within digital banking journeys, creating a more seamless customer experience.
The collaboration builds on Mambu’s expansion into payments following its acquisition of Numeral in 2024. It will provide a broad foundation for banks to develop cross-border payment services that meet the changing needs of SME and retail customers as demand continues to grow for transparent and frictionless international payments.
“Adding cross-border payment capabilities shouldn’t require financial institutions to take on years of integration work or rethink their entire tech stack. By integrating Mambu’s Intelligent Core with Mastercard Move, we are giving our customers a simpler way to introduce these capabilities, accelerate time to market and continue building on the investments they’ve already made. That’s the value of a composable foundation: it lets the Intelligent Core keep extending what financial institutions already trust, rather than replacing it.”
– Fernando Zandona, CEO, Mambu
“Despite advances in digital payments, moving money across borders remains complex and fragmented, with people and businesses expecting greater speed, transparency and certainty. Mastercard Move combines global reach with trusted money movement capabilities to help financial institutions meet those expectations.”
– Pratik Khowala, Global Head of Transfer Solutions, Mastercard
Mastercard Move enables money to move within and across more than 200 countries and territories and in more than 150 currencies, reaching 17+ billion endpoints and 95% of the world’s banked population.
