Mastercard announced a collaboration with Moneyhash to expand merchant access to its Merchant Cloud platform across the Middle East and Africa. This partnership connects regional businesses directly to Mastercard’s Gateway.

Moneyhash facilitates this connection using its single unified API. This mechanism simplifies the integration process and speeds up the time to market for merchants scaling their digital operations.

The collaboration offers businesses greater flexibility and control over their payment systems. Merchants utilize Moneyhash’s smart routing capabilities to optimize transaction flows across Mastercard’s Gateway and other payment service providers.

This optimization is expected to increase transaction success rates. Furthermore, the system aims to reduce processing costs for businesses operating in the region.
