According to the patent, the tech would help the company to keep an ongoing record of these transactions, verifying that a vendor was actually paid after a particular sale.
As the filing states,
“There is a need for a technical solution where a payment transaction can be guaranteed in a manner that is readily verifiable by an acquiring financial institution and/or merchant, and where the guarantee can be used in conjunction with multiple types of payment instruments as well as multiple transaction types, including e-commerce transactions.”
Mastercard has always considered blockchain platforms as a reliable source to ease payments. Recently, the company announced that is opening up access to the blockchain tools it was developing in order to facilitate business-to-business transactions.
