Companies Using Mastercard

We detect Mastercard on 888,384 domains, including Ford, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, undp.org. A detection means the technology is present on that domain, which for large organisations is often a single storefront or subdomain rather than a company-wide deployment. Among domains we matched to a company with a resolved industry, the most common is Retail (18.76%).

We detect 888,384 domains running Mastercard across our monthly crawl of live business domains. Company data could be matched for 196,500 of them (22.1%), and every company-size, industry and country breakdown on this page describes that matched subset rather than the full detected base. A further 94,842 domains carried a Mastercard detection previously and no longer do.

Mastercard holds 10.78% of the Payment Processing category, ranking #5. This is a share of the domains we detect running a platform in this category — not a share of all websites, and not a share of spending — so it is not directly comparable to figures published on other denominators.

The top alternatives to Mastercard include PayPal (19.13% market share), Apple Pay (15.46% market share), Shop Pay (14.61% market share), Visa (10.79% market share) — measured as a share of the domains we detect running a platform in this category.

United States leads with 76,459 matched Mastercard domains, followed by United Kingdom (25,219), Australia (15,105), Canada (13,906), Germany (9,619). These are counts within the 196,500 domains we could match to a company record, not the full detected base.

The most common company size is 1-10 employees, representing 77.95% of the Mastercard domains we could match to a company record and size — a subset of 196,500 matched companies, not of all 888,384 detected domains. This is followed by 11-50 employees (16.63%) and 51-200 employees (3.86%).

Among the Mastercard domains we could match to a company with a known founding date, the largest group was founded in the 2010s (42.71%), followed by the 2020s (30.27%). That matched subset is drawn from 196,500 companies and is not representative of all 888,384 detected domains. This suggests Mastercard is most popular among relatively young companies.

The ideal Mastercard customer is: Company Size: 1-10 employees, Location: US, UK, or Brazil, City: London, New York, Sydney, Toronto, Founded: 2010-2019, Company Age: ~5-15 years old — based on our analysis of 196,500 enriched companies at TechnologyChecker.io.

Mastercard is accepted at 37 million+ merchant locations in the US alone (per the Nilson Report, 2025) and by over 888,384 active websites tracked by TechnologyChecker.io. Major companies including IBM, Samsung, Target, and Uber all show Mastercard detection. Uber's Pro Card is a Mastercard debit product (per mastercard.com). The network connects merchants, banks, and consumers in 210+ countries, with 2.5 billion+ cards in circulation worldwide.

Mastercard partners with thousands of financial institutions, technology companies, and merchants worldwide. Uber expanded its global Mastercard partnership in July 2025, with the Uber Pro Card as a Mastercard debit product (per mastercard.com). American Airlines renewed its AAdvantage Mastercard co-brand deal the same month (per news.aa.com). Samsung launched Wallet Express and Tap to Transfer with Mastercard (per news.samsung.com). On the issuing side, our data includes Bank of America, HSBC, HDFC Bank, Wells Fargo, and Scotiabank.

Most merchants never contract with Mastercard directly — they access the network through a gateway or processor such as Stripe, Adyen, PayPal or Shopify Payments, which is why our detection finds a Mastercard logo rather than a Mastercard relationship. 99.6% of the domains where we detect the marker run Shopify, whose checkout bundles card processing and renders the accepted-payment icons automatically. Mastercard also offers Click to Pay, an EMVCo-based checkout standard supported across card networks.

The four major card brands are Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. By cards in circulation, Visa leads with 1.3 billion credit cards globally, followed by Mastercard at 1.1 billion (per SellersCommerce, citing the Nilson Report). In US purchase volume, combined Visa and Mastercard spending reached $10 trillion for the first time in 2025 (per the Nilson Report, March 2026). Our detection data shows a different angle: how many sites explicitly display each brand's badge in their source code.

Mastercard's 4-party model connects four participants in every transaction: the cardholder (consumer), the merchant, the issuing bank (which gave the consumer their card), and the acquiring bank (which processes payments for the merchant). Mastercard sits in the middle as the network, setting interchange fees and routing transaction data between the two banks. This model is standard across all major card networks.

Yes. Mastercard interchange rates range from roughly 1.45% to 2.90% depending on card type and transaction method (per beaconpayments.com, 2025 analysis). Consumer credit cards start at 1.58% + $0.10 for retail transactions, per Mastercard's published 2024-2025 rate schedule. On top of interchange, merchants pay assessment fees to Mastercard and processing fees to their gateway. Our data shows that 93.1% of Mastercard-accepting websites are small businesses with under 50 employees, so these fees hit them harder.

Yes, Mastercard is one of the most widely accepted payment methods online. Our database tracks 888,384 domains displaying Mastercard acceptance, with retail (18.76%) and fashion (9.69%) as the top industries. Most modern payment gateways like Stripe and PayPal process Mastercard by default, so the actual number of sites that can accept Mastercard is far higher than those explicitly showing the logo.

Retail leads at 18.76% of all Mastercard-accepting companies, followed by Retail Apparel and Fashion (9.69%), Food and Beverage Services (3.58%), and Manufacturing (3.7%). Wellness and Fitness (2.91%) and Luxury Goods (2.86%) also show strong adoption. Consumer-facing industries where card payments are the norm dominate the list, based on TechnologyChecker.io's enriched company data.

The United States leads with 76,459 enriched companies displaying a Mastercard marker, followed by the United Kingdom (25,219), Australia (15,105), Canada (13,906) and Germany (9,619), with France at 6,118, Italy at 4,680 and the Netherlands at 4,679. Read this as Shopify's merchant geography rather than Mastercard's acceptance footprint — the Visa profile returns the same five countries in the same order at the same percentages, because both markers come from one footer element.

In actual US purchase volume, Visa processed $7.028 trillion in 2025 versus Mastercard's $2.958 trillion (per the Nilson Report, March 2026). Visa also leads in cards: 1.3 billion credit cards globally versus Mastercard's 1.1 billion (per SellersCommerce). Our web detection data shows a different picture (888,384 Mastercard domains vs 18,048 for Visa), but that reflects how each network's badge appears in source code, not actual market size.

Click to Pay is an EMVCo-based checkout standard supported across card networks. In our detection data the practical picture is simpler: 99.6% of sites showing a Mastercard marker run Shopify, whose checkout handles card acceptance, and the merchant tooling around it reads Google Analytics 50.04%, Google Tag Manager 48.54%, Facebook Pixel 47.43%, Judge.me Reviews 21.98%, Klarna Checkout 20.81% and Klaviyo 19.92%. Microsoft Clarity appears on 7.59%.

Mastercard is the world's second-largest card payment network, processing $2.958 trillion in US purchase volume in 2025 (per the Nilson Report). Its interlocking red and orange circles rank among the most recognized brand marks globally. Founded in 1966 as the Interbank Card Association and headquartered in Purchase, New York, the company now has 33,400 employees (per Britannica) and posted $32.8 billion in 2025 net revenue (per its 10-K filing).

Companies of every size accept Mastercard, but small businesses dominate. Our data shows 77.95% of Mastercard-accepting companies have 1-10 employees, and 93.1% have under 50. At the enterprise end, 86 companies with 10,001+ employees display Mastercard acceptance, including Accenture, IBM, Ford, and Samsung. The distribution mirrors overall internet commerce patterns where micro-businesses far outnumber large corporations.
