About Network Enablement Partners

A Network Enablement Partner (NEP) is a Service Provider that directly engages with Mastercard instead of leveraging the relationship of a Mastercard-Licensed Customer. The NEP program enables Service Providers — the vendors of Mastercard-Licensed Issuers and Acquirers who typically have a fully indirect relationship with Mastercard — to play a pivotal role in expediting product innovation, reducing time to market and enhancing overall performance and operational efficiency for their customers. The direct partnership with Mastercard opens the door for Service Providers to collaborate on initiatives that drive value, innovation and seamless experiences in the evolving payment ecosystem.

NEPs can choose from three distinct tiers (Standard, Advanced and Premium) with benefits that are cumulative at each tier. Benefits range from access to Mastercard tools and information, ICAs and BINs for testing purposes and much more. Click here to learn more or complete the enrollment form today.
