MasterCard partners with Mercuryo, Polygon Labs for Crypto Credential

Mercuryo, Polygon Labs and Mastercard (MA) are partnering to expand Mastercard Crypto Credential to include self-custody wallets. Mastercard Crypto Credential helps verify interactions among consumers and businesses using blockchain networks by offering simple aliases to replace typically long and complex addresses. Making the solution available to self-custody wallets aims to increase inclusivity, security, and scalability for users while supporting trust, and driving industry innovation. As the first native blockchain network to support the solution, Polygon Labs will provide the foundational infrastructure. Mercuryo will be the first issuer to handle user onboarding. Paired with Mastercard’s trusted verification framework, this creates a comprehensive solution for verified, alias-based crypto transfers-offering fast, low-cost transactions ideal for digital payments and asset transfers.
