Mastercard EVP of new payment platforms for North America Colleen Taylor said: “Transactis’ technical and commercial know-how, combined with our reach and comprehensive payment options will greatly simplify the entire process.

“We’ll be able to deliver a better real-time consumer experience, from sign-up to viewing and paying bills, leveraging the investments that have been made in the core infrastructure.”

Transactis has partnered with bank and non-bank partners to distribute its technology.

The acquisition of Transactis follows the debut of Mastercard Bill Pay Exchange last fall. The platform allows consumers to set up bill payments for mortgages, utilities, rent, credit cards and other bills.
