Partnership to jointly scale installment
offerings bringing choice, control, and simplicity to consumers and
businesses
Splitit Payments Ltd. (ASX:SPT “Splitit” or the

that it has signed a multi-year agreement with global payments
technology company, Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA)
(“Mastercard”) to accelerate the adoption of Splitit’s installment
solution around the world.
Splitit will leverage Mastercard’s network of partners to extend
and scale installment functionality to consumers and merchants. It
will integrate its installment solution with Mastercard’s suite of
technology as a network partner to enable merchants to deliver
seamless and secure consumer experiences at checkout, both in store
and online.

our strong commitment to accelerating the adoption of instalment
payments globally,” said Brad Paterson, CEO of Splitit. “This is a
fantastic way to broaden the distribution of our solution,
leveraging Mastercard’s incredible global reach, and build out a
range of installment services. It’s a major plank in our strategy

Application Programming Interface (API) technology will enable a
systemic, scalable way to offer Splitit’s installment solution
through any channel. The partnership will also explore accelerated
collaborations with Mastercard’s suite of installment solution
providers
The partnership will plan to launch pilots across three markets
with plans to roll out globally.

transaction volumes for businesses and deliver budgeting solutions
in the moment consumers are seeking them,” says Zahir Khoja,
executive vice president of global merchant solutions and
