Merchants who accept Mastercard for online payments in 196 countries worldwide 2024
The number of Russian websites that offered Mastercard as a payment method was relatively higher than those from other countries up to 2024. This according to estimates based on website tracking and the technologies used within them, focusing solely on Payment Acceptance and Payment Processing. Note that the percentages, especially, are estimates due to categorization. Nevertheless, it provides an insight in the high use of Mastercard in the United States but also the importance of the card brand in, for example, Europe. According to estimates, nearly 25 percent of Russian merchants with at least one Payment Acceptance or Payment Processor technology until February 2024 had Mastercard on their website.
