This is actually more interesting than you might initially think! NatWest has become the first UK bank to enable Click to Pay for all its customers with a Mastercard debit card.
NatWest enrols card holders onto Click to Pay
Debit card customers with a NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland or Ulster Bank Mastercard have been registered for the service.
Click to Pay is a digital wallet that works on any website or app and supports Visa, Mastercard, American Express, debit cards, prepaid cards and Discover, on any device and allows users to create a single, secure profile where they can store multiple payment cards.
NatWest worked with Mastercard to automatically register its customers, who can use the service without signing up, wherever they see the Click to Pay logo.
They won’t need to enter their payment details and will be protected by multiple layers of security. Customers with a NatWest credit card will have Click to Pay enabled in the next few months.
As well as offering greater fraud protection, Click to Pay makes checking out easier, with just one click.
“Most people still use guest checkouts when they shop online, so Click to Pay saves hassle and the need to remember lots of different passwords,” comments Kelly Devine, President, UK and Ireland at Mastercard.
“Around one in three consumer debit cards in the UK are now issued on Mastercard’s network, and we’re working with our partners, like NatWest, to make sure their customers have access to the very best payments innovation and technology.”
Complicated checkouts are a common gripe for online shoppers. In Q1 2023, 81% of orders on mobile devices in the UK weren’t completed, and on both computers and tablets more than seven in ten (74%) carts created were left abandoned[1].
By eliminating the need to memorise a password or go through the rigmarole of entering personal information and card details, Click to Pay makes the checkout process quick and easy for shoppers, while offering them enhanced fraud protections.
