Mastercard Granted New York State Department of Financial Services BitLicense<\/b><\/p>\n

PURCHASE, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nMastercard Transaction Services (U.S.) LLC (MTS US) has been granted a BitLicense by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS).<\/p>\n

\nThe approval reflects Mastercard\u2019s ongoing engagement with regulators and its commitment to meeting the high standards required to operate in a well\u2011regulated financial environment as payments systems continue to evolve.<\/p>\n

\nNew York\u2019s BitLicense framework is widely recognized for establishing comprehensive requirements related to consumer protection, cybersecurity, financial integrity and operational resilience. NYDFS has played a leading role in providing regulatory clarity and helping to foster a safe and responsible environment for the development and scaling of digital assets.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cClear regulatory frameworks play an important role in building trust and confidence as new forms of digital value move from experimentation toward practical application,\u201d said Jorn Lambert, Chief Product Officer at Mastercard. \u201cThis approval underscores our focus on aligning innovation with regulatory expectations of high levels of security, compliance and risk management.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe BitLicense approval aligns with Mastercard\u2019s long\u2011term strategy to responsibly engage with evolving payment and settlement infrastructure supporting digital currencies such as stablecoins and tokenized deposits, while maintaining and building upon the same standards that underpin its global payments network.<\/p>\n

\nAs digital and traditional financial systems continue to evolve, Mastercard remains focused on advancing interoperability, reliability and trust across the payments ecosystem \u2014 strengthening the infrastructure behind the scenes so global commerce can operate safely at scale.<\/p>\n
