RBI allows Mastercard to onboard new customers after data storage compliance

Mumbai, 16/6: The RBI on Thursday lifted restrictions on Mastercard that it had imposed last year for failing to comply with local data storage norms.

 

 

The central bank had barred the US-based payment gateway from onboarding new customers until it complies with Storage of Payment System Data norms.

 

“In view of the satisfactory compliance demonstrated by Mastercard Asia / Pacific Pte. Ltd…on Storage of Payment System Data, the restrictions imposed…on on-boarding of new domestic customers have been lifted with immediate effect,” the RBI said in a statement
