Mastercard and JPMorgan have collaborated to introduce a new cross-border payment solution aimed at business transactions. This service enables mutual customers of Mastercard’s Multi-Token Network (MTN) and JPMorgan’s Kinexys Digital Payments to settle transactions through a unified API integration. The partnership aims to enhance transaction speed and reduce delays caused by time zone differences, while improving transparency in payment processing. Kinexys is built on a dollar-pegged JPM Coin, designed initially for cross-border transfers. As of October 2023, the platform had facilitated substantial transaction volume, demonstrating its growth and adoption within the industry. Kimberley Mallela, co-head of Kinexys, noted that the integration would enhance commercial transaction venues by providing efficient banking payment rails. Furthermore, Mastercard's MTN is expected to fully leverage the capabilities of Kinexys for real-time transfers in the financial market. This collaboration reflects the increasing commitment of both organizations to innovate in the digital asset space and streamline commercial infrastructure.
