Some proposed changes

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. A reviewer felt that this edit would not improve the article.

What happened to the ATM lawsuit from 2011?

Information to be added or removed: At the end of the Prepaid debit cards section please add – Similar multi-currency card programmes are used by fintech companies like Centtrip, Caxton and Metro Bank, utilising Mastercard’s credibility and global acceptance.

Explanation of issue: Mastercard supports multi-currency prepaid debit cards for many companies, their leadership here should be expanded upon.

Wrong colors on circles

It looks like wikipedia made a mistake, that is specifically disallowed in the pdf. https://brand.mastercard.com/brandcenter/mastercard-brand-mark/downloads.html What that means is that orange should be R'G'B', (where primes mean sRGB tranfer) hex F8 DE 1C, orange+red F3 64 21 and Red E7 1B 24 for old logo and for newest f79e1b, ff5f00, eb001b. The problem is that png created from SVG have gamma 2.2 (in gAMA chunk of png, check with exiftool), but of course sRGB is not 2.2 gamma. 2A00:1370:812D:EB35:F401:87A1:3CE0:3250 (talk) 01:28, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Total amount of transactions

It is not written how many card transactions and their total amount that take place yearly. Has to be near 100 billion worth more than $1 trillion yearly? --37.3.20.164 (talk) 10:23, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Old AfD merge consensus

A couple years ago, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brighterion, about a subsidiary, ended with a consensus to merge to Mastercard. How exactly should this article be merged in here? Or does the AfD need to be revisited? Thanks, Oiyarbepsy (talk) 04:04, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, looks like it was merged and the redirect undone by a possible paid editor. I've restored the redirect. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 04:08, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not work in Iran

Who can use MasterCard in Iran ? SepehrMomayezAdel (talk) 23:11, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That level of detail is not needed in the infobox, and the word 'Worldwide' does not mean 'every single place in the world'. There's no place to use a MasterCard at the north pole, either. But we don't need to list that. MrOllie (talk) 23:22, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
