MasterCard has just launched yet another prepaid card in Myanmar, this time with Myanma Apex Bank Limited (MAB Bank), reports TTR Weekly on July 23.
Its launch comes exactly three years on from the lifting of sanctions in Myanmar and the reports says this latest moves affirms MasterCard’s commitment to provide safer and easier ways for Myanmar residents to pay for their travels.
“The new prepaid card is also timely given the latest MasterCard survey on consumer purchasing priorities in travel indicates that three out of five Myanmar consumers surveyed intend to travel within the next 12 months (either as much, or more than they did in the past 12 months),” the report says.
