 PROFILE
Surpassing Visa in market share -- now that would be priceless. MasterCard International is the US's #2 payment system and is owned by its more than 20,000 financial institution members worldwide. The company provides marketing, approval, and transaction processing services for its payment products, including branded MasterCard credit and debit and Maestro debit cards. It is also promoting Mondex chip-based smart cards (it owns 51% of Mondex). MasterCard also operates the Cirrus ATM network. To gain market share from Visa, the company plans to merge with Europay, its European counterpart; the combined entity will boast the world's largest debit card network but would still be #2 to Visa in credit cards.
