Doha: Mastercard has recognised Doha Bank, one of the largest commercial banks in Qatar, as the fastest growing Mastercard Payment Gateway Services (MPGS) partner to affirm the bank’s leading efforts in accelerating the adoption and use of digital payments in the country.
Mastercard’s secure and trusted MPGS platform offers partners with advanced technology solutions for payment processing and fraud prevention, while enabling merchants to accept a wide range of digital payment methods easily and securely from all over the globe.
