RAVELLERS booking flights
through Mango’s mobile
app can now make secure
payments using MasterCard’s
digital wallet service,
MasterPass.
The app is free for download
on Android, BlackBerry 10, iOS
and Windows 8.1. Users need

payment option to complete
their ticket purchase. The app

South Africa.
“Consumers want to shop
and pay in a way that suits
their lifestyle. Whether it’s
in-store, online or on the
go, the payment experience
needs to be simple and fast,
while being safe and secure,”
says South Africa MasterCard
division president, Mark Elliott.
“MasterPass is a welcome
addition to Mango’s existing
wide payment method
acceptance portfolio,”
says Mango spokesperson,
Hein Kaiser.
