Juspay has joined the Mastercard Engage partner network as a certified Click to Pay partner, extending its Click to Pay work in Asia after an earlier rollout in Brazil.
The India-headquartered payments company is enabling the checkout product for merchants in Singapore and elsewhere in the region. It processes more than 300 million transactions a day and works with customers, including HSBC and Agoda, both of which have significant operations in Singapore.
Mastercard Engage is the card scheme's partner network for technology providers working with financial institutions and merchants on payment products. Juspay's inclusion gives it formal certification for Mastercard Click to Pay, a checkout option designed to reduce the need for shoppers to enter card details when paying online.
In Singapore and the wider Asia-Pacific market, Juspay is emphasising biometric authentication, passkeys, and card tokenisation. Those features are increasingly relevant as digital payment volumes rise across the region and businesses face pressure to reduce fraud while keeping online checkout simple.
Singapore has pushed for stronger digital identity and authentication measures, and passwordless payment tools fit that broader direction. Tokenisation, which replaces card numbers with tokens during transactions, has also become a common fraud-control measure as online commerce volumes increase.
The expansion in Asia follows Juspay's deployment of Click to Pay in Brazil. That rollout gave the company a reference market before it extended the product into another region where card-based eCommerce remains an important part of online spending.
Juspay says Click to Pay can help merchants offer a more consistent checkout journey across markets. For merchants operating in several countries, a key challenge has been reducing abandoned baskets without adding extra steps for consumers or exposing more payment data than necessary.
Founded in 2012, Juspay has built a broad base of merchant and banking customers. It supports more than 500 enterprises and banks and handles an annualised total payment volume of more than USD $1 trillion.
Its client list includes Amazon, Google, HSBC, Swiggy, Zurich Insurance, Agoda and several other consumer internet brands. Juspay says it operates across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, the UK and North America, with a workforce of more than 1,500.
The business was valued at USD $1.2 billion in a USD $50 million Series D follow-on funding round led by WestBridge Capital. Its backers also include SoftBank, VEF, Wellington Management and Accel.
Regional focus
The Singapore angle is notable because the city-state serves as a regional base for many multinational merchants and financial groups. Winning business there can help payment technology firms build relationships with companies that manage Southeast Asia operations from a single hub.
Juspay's work with HSBC and Agoda may also strengthen its pitch to other merchants and financial institutions considering Click to Pay. Banks and merchants in the region have been weighing checkout changes against fraud concerns, conversion rates, and the practical difficulty of integrating new payment flows into existing systems.
Mastercard and rival payment networks have spent several years promoting one-click and token-based online checkout tools to make card payments easier to complete on mobile devices and in browser-based shopping sessions. Adoption, however, has depended heavily on merchant integration work and support from payment service providers and technology partners.
By joining the Engage network, Juspay is positioning itself to work more directly within Mastercard's partner ecosystem as merchants and banks look to roll out the product in more markets. It will collaborate with Mastercard to support merchant adoption.
"Joining the Mastercard Engage partner network is an important milestone as we scale Click to Pay globally," said Mark Ronayne, Associate Director - International, Juspay.
"At Juspay, we're focused on removing friction from the checkout experience while maintaining the highest standards of security. With Click to Pay, we're enabling merchants to offer a consistent, one-click checkout, helping improve conversion while delivering a seamless payment experience for consumers," said Ronayne.
