Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openOn October 15, 2026, Mastercard, working with payments firm BVNK, launched the Mastercard Global Money Platform, a new system that lets users hold and use stablecoin (digital dollar-pegged currency) balances alongside regular bank accounts and Mastercard card payments. It is described as the first major product to come out of Mastercard's acquisition of BVNK.
A £700m collective legal claim has been filed at the UK Competition Appeal Tribunal against Visa and Mastercard, alleging the two card networks raised UK-EEA interchange fees five-fold after Brexit costs were removed. The claim seeks damages for approximately 126,000 UK businesses that accepted online payments from European Economic Area customers since October 2020.
Mastercard launched a new global money platform on October 15 that combines regular currencies and stablecoins (digital tokens pegged to real currencies like the dollar), marking the first major product built from its $1.8 billion BVNK acquisition.
Mastercard and its recently acquired BVNK have launched the Mastercard Global Money Platform, a single API that lets banks, fintechs, and enterprises offer accounts holding both traditional money and stablecoins, with real-time currency conversion, stablecoin-linked cards, and local payouts. Early partners include payments companies Nuvei and Marqeta.
Visa and Mastercard are both rolling out services that let businesses send and receive payments in USDC, a digital token pegged to the US dollar (a stablecoin), across roughly 200 countries. Visa is doing this through its Inyo platform and Mastercard through its BVNK platform, though both are subject to eligibility rules and phased rollout limits.
