New Delhi (16/10/2019) : Mastercard, along with legendary cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni, today
announced the launch of a nationwide initiative to accelerate the acceptance and adoption of digital payments.
Titled ‘Team Cashless India’, the initiative brings consumers and merchants to the forefront of the digital payments dialogue.
The campaign encourages all Indians to nominate one or more merchants who currently do not accept digital payments.
Mastercard will work together with Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), acquirer banks and fintech companies to support nominated merchants to deploy digital payments acceptance infrastructure.
Talking about the initiative, Mahendra Singh Dhoni said, “Having been brought up in a small town, I relate to the challenges due to the lack of digital infrastructure. I am truly inspired by Mastercard’s commitment to building a society where everyone has access to safe, secure, and seamless digital payments. It is a progressive journey and requires extensive teamwork. Through Team Cashless India, I would like to invite every Indian consumer and merchant to become a part of this team and play their part in India’s evolution
as a digitally empowered cashless society.”
