Mastercard Experience Centre brings the future of commerce to life

Making payments using solar credits, enjoying a football match in a virtual reality stadium, scanning a product to understand the ethics of its supply chain -- these are just some of the next-generation technology propositions on display at the revamped Mastercard Experience Centre (MEC) in Singapore.

The refreshed facility serves the company's clients and partners across the Asia Pacific region.

Mastercard has six MECs globally. They are located in London, Stockholm, Dubai, Mexico City and New York City beside Singapore.

The revitalisation of the Singapore innovation space coincides with the release of Mastercard's Future of Payments report which highlights three broad trends that have the potential to collectively expand prosperity and inclusion in the digital economy.

"The Mastercard Experience Centre is designed as a portal to that future, a place where customers and partners can virtually experience that future today, and where we're only limited by the power of our collective imaginations," said Sandeep Malhotra, executive vice-president (products and innovation) for Asia Pacific at Mastercard.
