Trintech, the electronic payment software specialist, has signed a global agreement with MasterCard International, which will see its Internet-based payment technology deployed to MasterCard's 23,000 member financial institutions.

Trintech's ezCard, is a digital credit card issued by banks, which sits on the cardholder's desktop computer. Using Trintech's NetIssuer software, banks can authenticate and authorise the digital card before a transaction is conducted. The user can simply "drag and drop" the ezCard icon onto a website's purchasing form, automatically transferring all of the customer's details to the merchant.
