Pine Labs, a digital retail payments company, on Friday announced an undisclosed investment by US-based payments technology company Mastercard. The investment is part of a partnership to continue the rapid growth of convenient electronic payment options for consumers across the region. The collaboration will deliver an extensive range of card and real-time payments-based installment financing at checkout – in-store and online.
