Mastercard is enabling faster and more convenient online transactions with its newest feature, Mastercard Click to Pay, launching in the Asia-pacific region.

The result is that consumers will be able to enjoy one-click checkout across devices, browsers and operating systems, without needing to input one-time passwords (OTPs).

The feature is enabled by the Mastercard Payment Passkey Service, which allows on-device biometric authentication through facial scans or fingerprints, the same way phones are unlocked.
