Unipaas, an embedded payments provider for SaaS platforms, revealed Friday that it has partnered with Mastercard to boost card acceptance among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in traditionally offline industries.
Mastercard Partners With Unipaas to Increase Card Acceptance for SMEs
The firm explained that the collaboration aims to digitise payments for SMEs using vertical SaaS platforms, replacing manual transactions with secure, streamlined solutions.
By integrating Unipaas’ compliant payment infrastructure with Mastercard’s global network and fraud protection capabilities, the partnership is expected to enable SaaS platforms to offer SMEs improved payment processing.
The shift is seen as a way to increase acceptance rates and transition businesses towards digital transactions.
“Many SMEs using vertical SaaS platforms today still rely on manual, offline payment methods—causing inefficiencies, poor user experiences, and lost revenue opportunities,” said David Avgi, Founder and CEO of Unipaas. “Together, we’re unlocking the potential of card payments in industries where digitisation has been slow.”
The initiative focuses on sectors such as healthcare, education, and professional training, where digital payments remain underutilised.
“This collaboration with Unipaas underscores our commitment to providing seamless, secure, and optimised payments for businesses,” said George Simon, Executive Vice President at Mastercard. “We are empowering SMEs using software providers to scale their operations and drive business growth with confidence.”
