The new digital payment channel allows shoppers to make fast, simple and secure digital payments at any place where Masterpass QR is accepted. Users do not require carrying cash or their physical bank cards to make payments.

“Ratnakar Bank is the first lender in India to integrate the Masterpass QR service into the OnGo digital wallet, its mobile platform powered in partnership with India Transact Services,” MasterCard said in a statement.

The OnGo wallet will host a virtual prepaid MasterCard, which can be used for cashless transactions, including for paying taxi and auto rickshaw fares.

Cost effective and easy-to-deploy technology allows even the smallest merchants to use Masterpass QR, whether they are in a major city or a remote area.
