PXP Financial has announced its accreditation as a Token Service Provider by Mastercard , facilitated through the Mastercard Digital Enablement Service (MDES). This accreditation enables PXP Financial to leverage Mastercard's Secure Card on File tokenization program, aiming to enhance security and user experience for merchants.

The MDES platform enables the digitization of various Mastercard card types for diverse digital payment methods, offering PXP Financial an avenue to enhance security measures for online and in-app purchases. By adopting Mastercard's Secure Card on File technology, PXP Financial aims to provide an added layer of security for its customers. Kamran Hedjri, CEO & Founder of PXP Financial, emphasized the significance of security in today's global marketplace and highlighted the company's commitment to staying at the forefront of payments innovation while prioritizing security.

The MDES seeks to address concerns regarding identity theft by converting sensitive information into non-sensitive digital tokens, thus safeguarding cardholders from potential fraud. These digital tokens are utilized for secure e-commerce and in-app transactions, reducing the risk of exposing payment card details. Additionally, device-specific tokens contribute to bolstering security measures.

Aside from mitigating risks associated with fraud, digital tokenization offers several benefits, including aiding compliance with PCI DSS, improving approval rates, and facilitating faster transactions. It's noted that digital tokenization differs from encryption in that sensitive data remains within the organization it was initially shared with.
