How Mastercard Plans To Beat Visa

Mastercard is the second largest card network in the U.S., accounting for more than a quarter of all purchase volume using a payment card. As the world transitions to a more cashless society, Mastercard’s value has continued to soar. Shares of the company have seen nearly 100% gain over the past 5 years, outperforming American Express, Discover and even Visa. So how is Mastercard able to generate so much revenue and how does it set itself apart from the rest of its competitors?

How Mastercard Plans To Beat Visa

[@financialconnectioninc]

The biggest risks MC and V now face is losing the debit portion of their business. 2%++ swipe fees to merchants, which funds reward points and miles to card holders, is an exorbitant charge to process a payment. Merchants are now pushing back with surcharges to pay with a card. Since people are not going to return to paying with cash, alternative systems like Zelle, CashPay, and even the prospect of digital currency will threaten to take away the non-credit (debit) transactions. Time will tell.

[@WayningGibbous]

You’re wrong and you’re talking out of your Read MC/Visa shareholder reports. This will not be located on there. Also, the interchange/merchant discount rate is not 2% on debit. Its capped at a MUCH lower rate. For credit, yeah its about 2%. 🤡

In my country, all banks issue MasterCard and visa card but there is an In App QR payment method backed by National bank's Blockchain system.

From what I've heard, it costs stores more to accept MasterCard as compared to Visa, at least here in Europe. And if I think back some decades ago, I do think there were some places that took Visa but not Mastercard (maybe because of this cost reason, or maybe because they were not as well spread out at that time).

[@sblack53]

It’s typically the opposite in Canada, MasterCard has semi-exclusivity deals with Costco and No Frills, and their interchange fees are typically marginally lower than Visa. That said they have the fewest card offerings among the Big 5, with only BMO offering Debit and BMO and RBC offering credit (and RBC also issues Visa cards). The biggest threat to Visa and MasterCard in Canada though is actually Interac.

[@turbine1]

Not sure what exactly you heard but that doesn't make sense since the EU put a cap on card transaction costs so with most card terminals there is no difference in fee between Visa/Mastercard/American Express

VERY well done ! I say this with 40+ years in mortgage finance & banking working with credit bureaus.

If you're trying to max your credit scores, there is a happy medium between too many credit cards and none. Too many cards with zero balnce may actually hurt you in some cases. Even if you do not use them, you have a potential. To always pay cash & still have cards doesn't help your scores as well

The instantaneous, free account to account PIX payment system in Brazil is gaining a lot of space in retail sales.

In Canada, in 2022, it seems most card companies switched to Mastercard. Especially the fintech.

[@theintrovertadventurer9640]

I think that’s because most are issued by the same bank (Peoples Trust). If the issuer switches, all underlying fintech have to follow suit.

[@alexandermaverick9474]

for some sort of scale context, think of the biggest banks. Visa and Mastercard are bigger than those like a blue whale compared to an orca. WIthout MC, Visa, Amex, China UnionPay, etc, the banks have to have direct contact with all other banks, and to reconcile all transactions by themselves. I am not aware of any bank in such a position, at least Europe-wise.

[@johnnyballenatl]

I’ve used all four major card providers over the last 25 years (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), and Mastercard is the most reliable.

Can't deny the fact that *VRI TOKEN* is the strongest bet to bring power back to this industry after we suffered FTX, Celsius, Tera and so on. Sure if they fail it's done for good, but I don't see that the biggest tech company in the world would put everything at risk just for that.

[@BrawlRank00]

I’ve been with *VRI TOKEN* for more than five years and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made in terms of investing. I use my self-directed IRA with Preferred Trust Company. I work with my Investment Representative from Ignite Funding who is very professional and knowledgeable as well as the other employees in other departments. I get answers to my questions right away. I have more than 20 loans at the moment and interests are paid in a timely manner. I’m grateful to have them.

[@FinanzenMitFun]

Mastercard is one of my biggest positions. I love the credit card business. ❤

[@naumtemnomedeusuario]

Be aware that the payments systems are changing rapidly. Instant payments solutions are growing fast. See Brazil for example. In less than 2 years, PIX has become our main payment and transfer systems. It's free for individuals, runs 24x7 and it's accepted anywhere by anyone, from individuals to large companies.

[@MontgomeryMall]

I have never seen an advertisement by Mastercard attacking Visa or vice-versa. Rather, their ads tend to tee off on American Express.

Swipe % fees are too high. It's just a tiny bit of data and retailer prices are already too high.

[@adityatulsiyan7063]

it would be great if they spoke about UPI as well

[@deewinc]

Visa used to be dominant in Kenya up to around 2010. From there, Mastercard invested a lot in marketing and partnerships. You walk in a bank and by default they give you a Mastercard unless you request for Visa. Somehow, Visa has hardly done anything significant to attract users.

between the two, I think I would still support *VRI TOKEN* : technically speaking, years ahead of the competitors,Brand power, easy development, flexible with source languages, quick tx...

[@MubashirullahD]

I wish Union Pay was more easily accepted globally. A few places accept that like Amazon etc. More local stores and sites usually have Mastercard and Visa. Thats it

[@theintrovertadventurer9640]

Unionpay is widely accepted in person (due to network partnerships, for example you can use it if you see the JCB logo) but online yeah acceptance is miserable.

Thank you for your videos mate, you know most people think that investing in crypto is all about holding till it rises, come on, it takes time and is a gamble on the long run, this recent dip and slight pump should be a lesson to people who hold blindly. Working with *VRI TOKEN* , made me believe that when you hold, you stand the chance of losing it all too unexpected dips. So rather than simply holding, I trade crypto under his expertise.. We need more experts like her, who educate people on the evolution of the market so people avoid common mistakes. so they don’t walk out of the market feeling frustrated!

I've never had the choice to choose if my card would be Visa or MasterCard. My bank would just issue whatever they had. I had no say in the matter.

[@sporadics]

I used to work for VISA...I can't complain how the company treated me, even after it laid off. But it has a big problem...it is so profit-driven that it did not focus to how to help the small businesses grow...this left the door open for the smaller payment processors. Now they are dividing the market that VISA can't salvage.

I am retired from Visa and worked with the largest west coast issuers and acquirers as well as large merchants such as Walmart and we were constantly finding ways to help these customers to be efficient and save operational costs without any reservations when these measures resulted in less profit for Visa, which happened at times! For 17 years working at Visa, I saw nothing but a conscious, ethical and fair company!

[@kellecipolatkol6843]

Predicting a reversal of a trend is risky, and even worse, I believe there is more to this market than we understand currently. When people are losing, they don't aim to increase their average, but that can only change if you have a personal trade guide and signal provider like that of VRI TOKEN which has made me almost 19.5 on a 2 btc Trade capital over the last 3 weeks. Make the wise decision. Markets fluctuate in cycles that can last anywhere from a few days to several years. In the case of B -TC, it's difficult to make a bullish case simply from looking at the charts.
