“Mastercard is thrilled to enhance our partnership with Citizens to become their exclusive payments provider across all product portfolios,” said Linda Kirkpatrick, president, North America at Mastercard. “We are proud to work with a brand that champions financial empowerment, and we look forward to bringing new products, services and capabilities to complement the strong value proposition Citizens provides to consumers and businesses.”

  • Delivering trust in today’s digital economy: with Mastercard’s leading digital identity solutions, Citizens’ consumer and business customers will benefit from cutting edge authentication and fraud mitigation tools.
  • Accelerating innovation: Citizens and Mastercard will collaborate to foster advancements in payments technologies, fraud prevention tools and open banking to benefit consumers in the communities where they live and work.
  • Commercial digitization: Citizens will utilize Mastercard’s commercial solutions to intelligently optimize and streamline business-to-business payments for today’s digital environment.
  • Scaling inclusive payment experiences: with a shared goal to provide choice and optionality to consumers, Citizens and Mastercard will partner to drive inclusive growth across channels and products for customers.
  • Connecting Citizens customers to Priceless Experiences: aligning passion and purpose, Citizens customers will receive exclusive access to iconic events, Priceless experiences, and opportunities to participate in purpose-driven initiatives.
