The agreement, which has been met with widespread criticism, will see the two companies working together to implement Mastercard’s Gateway solution across 40 markets in the region.
A GATEWAY TO TYRANNY?
The Mastercard Gateway solution, which has been touted as a "single touchpoint for payment processing," has raised concerns among privacy advocates and critics of corporate power. The solution, which is designed to enable merchants to offer fast, seamless, and secure transactions, has been accused of being a Trojan horse for Mastercard’s dominance over the region’s payment systems.
A BLOATED MONOPOLY?
The partnership has also raised concerns about the potential for a bloated monopoly in the region’s payment processing market. With Mastercard and Amazon Payment Services teaming up, critics are worried that the two companies will use their combined resources to stifle competition and limit innovation in the region.
A THREAT TO FINANCIAL FREEDOM?
The agreement has also been met with concerns about the potential impact on financial freedom in the region. With Mastercard and Amazon Payment Services controlling the payment systems, critics are worried that individuals and businesses will be forced to use their services, limiting their ability to choose alternative payment options.
A SHOCKING STATEMENT FROM MASTERCARD
In a shocking statement, Mastercard’s Executive Vice President, Amnah Ajmal, said, "We are proud to partner with Amazon Payment Services to scale payment acceptance and accelerate digitization of payments with innovation solutions." The statement has been met with widespread criticism, with many experts accusing Mastercard of being tone-deaf to the concerns of the region’s citizens.
A FUTURE OF TYRANNY?
The partnership between Mastercard and Amazon Payment Services has raised concerns about the potential for a future of tyranny in the region. With the two companies controlling the payment systems, critics are worried that individuals and businesses will be forced to comply with their demands, limiting their ability to exercise their financial freedom.
A CALL TO ACTION
In light of this shocking collaboration, it is imperative that citizens and businesses in the Middle East and Africa take a stand against this partnership. We must demand that our leaders take action to protect our financial freedom and prevent the creation of a bloated monopoly in the region’s payment processing market. The future of our financial systems depends on it.
