Mastercard launched its "Fleet: Next Gen" portfolio in the Asia Pacific region on February 4, 2026.
The portfolio expands fleet payment solutions beyond fuel. It targets commercial fleet operators, ranging from small businesses to large logistics companies.
The solutions unify payments data. This provides visibility and control over expenses, including EV charging, maintenance, and tolls. The company targets a market projected to grow significantly.
Mastercard revealed a five-year strategic collaboration with e-commerce platform Shopee in Vietnam.
The first milestone is the launch of the VPBank S Rewards Mastercard. This is the company's first card linked to Shopee in Vietnam. The partnership aims to accelerate the growth of cashless payments.
Daiwa Capital Markets upgraded Mastercard's stock rating. The rating moved from "hold" to "strong-buy."
