Maib becomes the first bank in Moldova to implement Mastercard Gateway, available through Mastercard Merchant Cloud. By leveraging Mastercard’s global payment gateway, this collaboration will provide maib customers with simplified and scalable solutions for accepting digital payments, supporting both local and global payment methods. This integration marks an important milestone for the financial sector in the Republic of Moldova, offering local businesses advanced payment acceptance capabilities.

Mastercard Gateway is a global payment platform that enables transaction acceptance across multiple channels — from physical stores to websites and mobile applications. The platform provides secure transaction processing and includes advanced fraud protection tools. For merchants in Moldova, this solution will simplify digital commerce operations by providing access to multiple payment methods through a single integration, accelerating time to market and supporting payment acceptance on a global scale.

Aliona Stratan, First Vice President of maib, commented:

“We are proud to become the first bank in Moldova to integrate Mastercard Gateway, opening up new technology-driven opportunities for online commerce in our country. This solution will accelerate the development of digital payments and help merchants offer their customers simple and intuitive payment experiences. At the same time, merchants already operating in other markets will be able to launch e-commerce operations in Moldova faster, reducing the technical effort required for integration and making it easier to scale their businesses.”

Irina Untila, Vice President, Country Manager Mastercard in Moldova, said:

“As consumers increasingly seek simplicity and convenience in digital payments, it is essential to support our customers with a secure, scalable and reliable payment infrastructure. Mastercard Gateway integrates advanced technologies that enhance the payment experience for both merchants and their customers. We are pleased to collaborate with maib on the integration of this solution and are confident that Mastercard Gateway can support the development of technology-driven online payments and open up new opportunities for businesses.”

Mastercard Gateway offers several capabilities:

• secure international gateway for accepting card payments;
• support for alternative payment methods, such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, secure Card on File and other global services;
• recurring payments and subscriptions powered by tokenization technology;
• fraud protection through advanced AI-based security tools and Mastercard Identity Check;
• flexible integration options, from a ready-to-use payment page to APIs for developers.

Mastercard Gateway is available through Mastercard Merchant Cloud, an open and integrated payment acceptance ecosystem that gives businesses simplified access to modular payment solutions, including fraud prevention services, authentication, tokenization, data and partner services. This enables businesses to scale faster and more securely, while benefiting from a simplified integration experience.
