Cross-border payments are being reimagined — and expectations are changing fast.   For too long, moving money across borders meant navigating multiple intermediaries, higher costs and limited transparency. Today, banks, businesses and consumers are pushing for something better: faster, more predictable and more transparent outcomes.   In a recent Forbes feature, partners like SAB and First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) point to that shift — and what they increasingly expect from modern money movement networks.   With Mastercard move, Mastercard is helping meet that moment — evolving from a new offering into a global platform connecting 200+ countries, 150+ currencies and billions of endpoints across cards, accounts, digital wallets and more.   Under the leadership of Pratik Khowala, the approach has become more focused and intentional: • Building more direct connections to reduce intermediaries • Tailoring solutions to specific payment corridors • Expanding choice across rails • Leveraging AI and emerging technologies like stablecoins   Because the future of cross-border payments isn’t just about moving money. It’s about moving it in ways that reflect how people and businesses actually operate — with speed, transparency and trust.   Learn more: https://lnkd.in/erzwihaR
