    Mastercard to introduce offline payment requirements for bank cards in Europe

    Starting in February 2027, Mastercard will require newly issued credit and debit cards in Europe to support offline payments, and from May will require new and replacement terminals at key retailers to support the functionality. When there is no network connection, terminals can locally approve transactions within a maximum limit of €200 based on spending parameters preset by the card issuer in the card’s chip; once the connection is restored, the transactions will be submitted for clearing. The feature applies to essential spending scenarios including supermarkets, grocery stores, gas stations, pharmacies, and travel or ticketing terminals.

    推荐理由:Offline transactions are approved locally by the chip based on parameters preset by the card issuer, then submitted for clearing once the connection is restored. The article also lists the phased implementation dates for bank cards and key retail terminals.
