A lot, probably.&nbsp;<strong>Mastercard\u2019s network processes over 60,000 transactions a second on its network at peak times<\/strong>&nbsp;of the year, such as Black Friday. Digital payment may be utterly commonplace for all readers of this piece, but your author was reminded of the sheer complexity that underpins this process when recently visiting&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mastercard.us\/en-us\/vision\/who-we-are\/innovation\/mastercard-experience-center.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mastercard\u2019s London Experience Centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mastercard has seven such Centres around the world (we have visited the New York one\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heptagon-capital.com\/season-5-post-36-experience-centres-experienced\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">several times<\/a>). It uses them to showcase innovation to stakeholders. In homage to one of Britain\u2019s most famous fictional creations, at the heart of the London Centre sits the \u2018Bond Room.\u2019 It was fittingly equipped with a huge screen displaying the full extent of Mastercard\u2019s global network. The company\u2019s underlying decision intelligence platform reviews around 2bn transactions daily. Backed by more than 100 different AI models,\u00a0<strong>200,000 fraud criteria are considered before any transaction is approved<\/strong>\u00a0(or declined). This process takes just 50 milliseconds, on average. Great news for retailers seeking to minimise fraud risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No wonder then that the number of merchant acceptance locations at Mastercard have expanded significantly in recent years.&nbsp;<strong>Payments on the Mastercard network are accepted in over 110m locations globally, with 20m added in the last three years<\/strong>. This is equivalent to one every three seconds. Payment facilitation via the likes of Square and SumUp have helped, but for consumer, the frictionless use of Mastercard also matters.<strong>&nbsp;Contactless payments now account for more than 1-in-2 in-person transactions globally.<\/strong>&nbsp;Tokenisation, via the use of biometric-enabled Apple ID, for example, has been another important driver. More small business (and their customers) will likely embrace these technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expect more AI too. Beyond its crucial role in fraud protection and cyber, Mastercard showcased to us its \u2018Intelligent Agent\u2019 solution. Imagine an avatar with whom customers can interact via a conventional conversation. Said avatar could, for example, book flights and then potentially make a hotel reservation in the same city. It might also be able to secure a table at a top restaurant. With payment details and user preferences saved, and the system constantly learning (that you prefer, say, morning flights and aisle seats), in the words of our host,&nbsp;<strong>AI could \u201ctransform the payment landscape.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally Posted July 3, 2024 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heptagon-capital.com\/season-6-post-25-money-on-the-move\/\">Money on the move<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The above does not constitute investment advice and is the sole opinion of the author at the time of publication.
