Safety is at the heart of Mastercard’s story

We know that safety and security are top priorities for our issuers, your customers, merchants and others. That’s why we won’t stand still in developing new and better ways to keep payments safe. As technology advances, devices change and payment methods adapt, we continually innovate to ensure the safety of billions of electronic payments wherever and whenever they occur. We are securing the entire payments ecosystem with EMV, end-to-end encryption, tokenization and authentication.

Here are just a few of the security benefits your customers get by using a Mastercard:

Liability Protection

Liability Protection applies to transactions made in-store, over the telephone or online. Certain terms, conditions and exclusions apply. Learn more.

Purchase Assurance

Provides coverage for most items your customers purchase with an eligible Mastercard if the item is damaged or stolen within 90 days of the date of purchase.
